Haiti President Jovenel Moise was assassinated earlier this week. A group of 28 foreign mercenaries, including retired Colombian soldiers, carried out the attack, police say. Now, the interim prime minister Claude Joseph has taken command of the government and security services, claiming that he is in charge, while some are questioning his authority, saying that two days before his death, Moïse had appointed a new prime minister, Ariel Henry.

The UN has said Mr Joseph should remain in charge until elections are held later this year.
