在尼日利亚里弗斯州，由于石油泄漏问题，居民与安全部队发生冲突，导致一艘社区船只倾覆，至少10人遇难。
At least 10 people are feared dead after a boat capsized during a clash between residents and security forces over an oil spill in Nigeria's Rivers State.
据报道，这起事件发生在库拉（Kula）的奥尔米宁租赁区55号（Oil Mining Lease 55），该地区属于阿库库-托鲁（Akuku-Toru）地方政府辖区的一个渔镇。
Nigerian authorities are investigating reports that at least 10 people died this week when a community boat capsized during a clash between residents and security personnel over an oil spill at Oil Mining Lease 55 in Kula, a fishing town in Rivers State's Akuku-Toru local government area.
当地消息称，冲突是在社区成员与驻扎在泄漏现场的安全部队人员对峙时爆发的，但具体事件经过尚未得到独立证实。
Local reports describe the confrontation as erupting when community members confronted security operatives stationed near the spill site, though the exact sequence of events has not been independently confirmed.
尼日尔三角洲地区（OML 55所在地）长期以来存在石油生产社区与安全部队之间的紧张关系，主要矛盾集中在环境破坏、赔偿以及进入泄漏现场的问题上。
The Niger Delta region, where OML 55 sits, has a long history of tension between oil-producing communities and security forces over environmental damage, compensation and access to spill sites.
当地居民多次指责石油开采公司和政府在应对石油泄漏事件时反应迟缓，这些事件严重破坏了他们的渔场和农田，而这些是他们的主要收入来源。
Residents in the area have repeatedly accused operators and the state of responding too slowly to spills that damage fishing grounds and farmland, their primary sources of income.
目前，无论是石油租赁公司还是里弗斯州政府官员都尚未就人员伤亡和船只倾覆的具体情况发表正式声明。
Neither the oil-mining lease operator nor Rivers State officials have issued a formal statement on the toll or the circumstances of the capsizing.
社区领袖呼吁对此次石油泄漏事件和冲突进行独立调查，而联邦政府方面也尚未表示是否会展开正式调查。
Community leaders are calling for an independent investigation into both the spill and the clash, while federal authorities have not yet said whether a formal inquiry will be opened.
