Opening sentence: Protests began in cities throughout Haiti on 7 July 2018 in response to increased fuel prices.

^That date...

2019
December
On 10 December, the US House Foreign Affairs Committee began hearings on the situation in Haiti, which Frederica Wilson had pushed for. At the hearing, Maxine Waters was sharply critical of US support for the sitting president. Neither the State Department nor USAID was present at the hearings.[2]

Arrest of foreign mercenaries
The Port-au-Prince newspaper Le Nouvelliste reported on 18 February 2019 that a Haitian citizen and seven non-Haitians were arrested in the city. At the time of their arrest, they were carrying rifles, pistols, drones and satellite phones in their vehicle, which had no license plates.[47] The Haitian Foreign Minister Bocchit Edmond confirmed that among them were five Americans.[48] According to the editor of Haïti Liberté, the group included two former Navy SEALs, a former Blackwater employee, and two Serbian mercenaries living in the US. They were tasked with protecting the former head of the National Lottery, who intended to transfer US$80 million from a PetroCaribe bank account—controlled jointly by the President, the Prime Minister, and the President of the Central Bank—to a bank account solely controlled by President Jovenel Moïse.[49]

The span of Moïse's term in office was disputed, sparking a constitutional crisis.

So, it looks like he assumed power following a deeply contested election with enough additional integrity issues that it became a constitutional crisis. People protesting anti-corruption, ties to Venezuela, same date as the protests started 2 years ago, and maxine waters loved him... Some serious coincidences and connections here, and it's barely registering a blip on the radar.

Someone wanna ask the question? Ok, I will...did Haiti use Dominion voting machines?
