In July 2021, a group of heavily armed men stormed the home of President Jovenel Moïse of Haiti, killing him and wounding the first lady.
Legal proceedings against the suspects have been slowly progressing in a largely empty courtroom in South Florida.
In Florida the case is taking place under tight confidentiality restrictions due to some of the suspects’ ties to American intelligence agencies.
In Haiti, the acting prime minister, Ariel Henry, has been implicated by Haitian authorities in the plot.
Any hopes for justice and accountability are fading and, with them, so too fades the hope for a new path forward for Haiti.
