Haitian parliament suspended, leaving president to rule by decree

President Michel Martelly and the Haitian senate have been unable to agree on law for administering elections. This means that parliament is no longer sitting and the president is ruling by decree.

Amy Wilentz's book, Farewell, Fred Voodoo: A Letter from Haiti, won the 2013 National Book Award in the U.S. Amy Wilentz speaks with Redeye host Sean Mullen.
