Jovenel Moïse, the president of Haiti, was assassinated in his Port-au-Prince home on July 7. In the weeks since his assassination — which investigators and the country’s Prime Minister have deemed “highly coordinated” — the country has seen mass mobilization and deep division. Over two dozen arrests have been made since the assassination, although little has been shared regarding the suspects’ individual roles.

On Oct. 4, category 4 Hurricane Matthew directly impacted the Caribbean, most notably devastating Haiti. From Haiti, the storm went on to make landfall in Cuba, the Bahamas and the Southeastern U.S. Although Matthew only made landfall in these nations, Jamaica, Curacao, Aruba, Turks and Caicos and the Dominican Republic (which is on the same island as Haiti) were also affected either through hurricane or tropical storm effects, according to CNN.
