1/ HILO:

El presidente de Haití tenía un expediente de narcotraficantes. Sus asesinos lo estaban buscando

#Haiti #Moïse

nytimes.com/es/2021/12/13/…

2/ Cuando los sicarios irrumpieron en la casa de Moïse, registraron su oficina en busca de un archivo. Averiguamos lo que buscaban: Moïse redactaba un expediente que delineaba las redes de contrabando de armas y drogas y los haitianos poderosos implicados. Iba a dárselo a EE. UU.

3/ ¿Por qué necesitaría EE. UU. este documento? Porque trabajar en Haití es imposible tanto para el FBI como para la DEA. La policía es corrupta y eso obstaculiza la colaboración con las autoridades locales.

Y porque Moïse conocía a estos traficantes desde hacía años.

4/ Para la nota hablamos con más de 70 personas, desde pescadores hasta políticos poderosos, jefes de policía y funcionarios estadounidenses. Viajamos a 8 de los 10 departamentos de Haití en avión, auto y motocicleta (las motos me ponen nerviosa). Acá estamos llegando a una pista

5/ ¡Muchísimas gracias a @Azehbrauskas por las fotos! Esta historia fue muy difícil de retratar. Muchos haitianos temían por sus vidas y nosotros temíamos por su seguridad. Aquí está Adriana, caminando entre los arbustos cuando al final llegamos a la pista ilegal.

Here's a story about a young American woman who fought for her rights in Saudi Arabia, challenged the monarchy & triumphed. This woman is my mother. She is an international badass who has been evacuated from wars on navy ships while crooning babies to sleep (including baby me) /1

It's 1978. She was working at King Faisal Hospital, which treated the royal family. She & my dad had moved to Riyadh two years before. King Faisal was the ONLY decent hospital and she decided to work there because that meant we got access, as outlined in her contract /2

She was heavily pregnant and returned home from the market to find Royal Guard vehicles surrounding our home (not in a compound). The neighbors looked on, terrified & curious as she was whisked away. /3

Some reported-out points on the India - Pakistan skirmish, from both my US sources and my colleagues in DC:
1) US says if Pakistan used an F16 to shoot down an Indian MiG, it may not have violated sale agreement. India says deal limits Pak to use jets ONLY for counterterror ops

2) US officials are pushing back hard on India's interpretation of their F16 sale agreement w/Pakistan. They say if India entered Pak airspace for a 2nd day, and Pak used the jet defensively, the contract wasn't violated
3) But, if Pak used F16 to attack India 1st, deal violated

4) So this all comes down to: what really happened last week -- is Pakistan's version to be believed or India's ? American officials at this moment say they are assessing if an F16 was used and in what manner
5) Pak says they didn't use F16, but JF17, a jet they produce w/China
