Jovenel Moise was a 48 years old businessman, became president of Haiti on Feb 7th , 2017. When he was made the president , he pledged to strengthen institutions , development , fight corruptions and bring more jobs to the nation.
  he quoted:
" We can change Haiti if we work together."

But it never happened and his administration was suffered by massive protest from beginning of his tenure. 

Critics accused him to run authoritarian rule i.e. he didnot share his power.

In February , Moise told the UN Security council that he is trying be overthrown from power. He also jailed 20 people planning for his assassination. But they appealed in court and they were released.
