Extracts from Martine Moïse's message (translated from Creole) :
"My brothers and sisters in the four corners of the country I greet you. It is Martine Moïse speaking to you. I am alive, thank God, but I have lost my husband Jovenel.
More than 25 years that we fought together, more than 25 years with love in the family [...] the mercenaries entered to my house they riddled my husband with bullets. I have always known that since Jovenel had entered politics that he was not just for me, this assassination put water in my eyes as well as in the children and I know he puts water in your eyes too [...]
[...] we know who the President was fighting against, they sent mercenaries to kill the President at his home [...] so that the roads, the electricity, the referendum, the elections at the end of the year, for that there is no transition in the country [...]
While the mercenaries who killed the President are in prison, what other mercenaries want to assassinate the President's dream, want to assassinate the President's vision [...] ?
25 years of marriage, 25 years of living together, only one evening the mercenaries tore him from me, the tears will never dry from my eyes [...] but we cannot let the President die a second time.
I'm going to shout it's true but we cannot let the country lose the road [...] the battle which he was leading was not his own battle, but a battle he was leading for you, we must continue it.
You know that I love you very much, I will not let go, very soon I will come and talk with you on Facebook live.
