A key group of international diplomats on Saturday appeared to snub the man currently running Haiti by urging another politician, the designated prime minister, to form a government following the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse. Interim Prime Minister Claude Joseph has been leading Haiti with the backing of police and the military, despite the fact that Moïse had announced his replacement a day before being assassinated. "To this end, it strongly encourages the designated Prime Minister Ariel Henry to continue the mission entrusted to him to form such a government," the group said. A Haitian soldier guards the entrance to the General Directorate of the police in Port-au-Prince, Haiti's capital, on July 10. They reviewed critical infrastructure, spoke with Haitian National Police and met with Joseph, Henry and Lambert in a joint meeting.
