Stephen Sackur speaks to former Haitian prime minister Laurent Lamothe. Pity the eleven million people of Haiti; it is hard to think of a nation more comprehensively shattered by many decades of misrule and the ravages of natural disaster. In the latest lurch toward chaos the president Jovenel Moïse was assassinated earlier this month. Who ordered the hit isn’t clear but a protracted struggle for power seems certain. Can anything be done to end Haiti’s suffering?
