Haiti’s president knows he has a problem: Governing a country that at times seems to verge on the ungovernable is hard enough when you have a lot of support. Jovenel Moïse clearly does not. In a recent interview, the Haitian leader lamented that he has the confidence of only a small sliver of his people. He won the 2016 elections with just under 600,000 votes in a country of 11 million. And now many are angry over his refusal to leave office in February, amid a dispute over whether his term ended then or should extend for one more year.
