The only thing that will save that place in the next 40 years will be the discovery of massive oil or gold\silver reserves. Even that can be squandered just look at Venezuela. Too bad the guy got wacked, but in the big picture of Haiti it changes little.

Haïti : le président Jovenel Moïse assassiné
Le président haïtien Jovenel Moïse a été assassiné dans la nuit de mardi à mercredi par des hommes armés dans sa résidence privée.www.france24.com
I can give you the name of several, starting with the father of said country, Jean Jacques Dessalines.
A president who doesn't actually live in the country he is ruling?
Please can someone explain what a drug cartel thinks they will gain by assassinating the president? It isn't as if they get to pick the next guy.
The news reports seemed to indicate the company that provides electricity wanted him dead. Did anyone else see that?
I have my doubts that the assassins will be caught. I suspect they were out of Haiti very quickly. Any reports on their capture?
Does this really change anything in Haiti?

They could work online. It is popular these days. We have 2 renters doing it right now.
Seen websites that list former presidents as having "died in office" like Cincinnatus Leconte. Haitian terrorists blew up the National Palace killing him and hundreds of soldiers.......maybe he literally died in his office lol.
Ironically said Leconte was a great-grandson of Dessalines, who also happened to have been still ruling the country (with the title of "emperor") at the time of his assassination. Great grandpa lasted more, though, cuz poor Cincinnatus lasted less than a year. And what is more tragic about it all is that he was one of the few presidents known for his probity and honesty (perhaps that being the reason behind him being killed).
Here is an article:
The President was riddled with 12 bullets. Seems only he and his wife were shot. No one from his specialized security forces detail was shot according to the article. Kids and maid also unharmed.
4 suspects dead and 2 captured in connection with his death.

Haitian president’s body was riddled with 12 bullets, eye was blown out: judge
Despite Moïse having his own security detail, only the president and his wife, Martine Moïse, were shot.

If it is South American cartels, they might be doing it to have closer access to the North. Control the whole country of Haiti, grow cocaine without any gov't interference. Control the shipping ports, airports. All speculation at this point, but certainly a possibility.
They may see what the Mexican cartels are doing in Mexico, and want the same thing.
