Bukele Issues Harsh Warning to Haitian Gangs Four members of El Salvador’s military were abducted Sunday in Haiti, and their president wants them back. President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador issued a sharply worded warning to Haitian gang members who kidnapped four of his countrymen this week: We are coming for you.
布克勒表示,已发起一项军事行动,旨在营救周日在首都外围一处帮派据点被绑架的四名失踪萨尔瓦多航空技术人员。据一位知情但未获授权公开讨论此事的人士透露,布克勒正在商议派遣更多部队开展行动并协助营救。
Mr. Bukele said a military operation had been launched to rescue four missing Salvadoran aviation technicians who were abducted in a gang stronghold outside the capital on Sunday. Mr. Bukele was in discussions to send more troops to conduct operations and assist in the rescue attempt, according to a person familiar with the episode who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.
这四名失踪的萨尔瓦多人是一个新的联合国支持的军事力量——“帮派镇压部队”成员,该部队旨在从控制海地首都大部分地区的帮派手中夺回控制权。
The four missing Salvadorans are members of a new United Nations-backed military force called the Gang Suppression Force, which is aimed at wresting control of Haiti from gangs that hold much of its capital.
萨尔瓦多军方称,这四名萨尔瓦多人周日下午在从克鲁瓦德布凯镇的一家超市开车返回基地途中,遭遇帮派伏击袭击。他们的装甲SUV被炸药击中并起火,但四名士兵逃了出来。自那以后,再无人得知他们的消息。
The four Salvadorans were ambushed Sunday afternoon in a gang attack while driving back to their base from a supermarket in the town of Croix-des-Bouquets. Their armored S.U.V. was hit by explosives and caught fire, but the four soldiers escaped, the Salvadoran military said. Nobody has heard from them since.
布克勒用克里奥尔语在社交媒体上发布信息,直接针对帮派领导人,强调这四名失踪男子并非战斗人员。布克勒表示,萨尔瓦多派往“帮派镇压部队”的人员由飞行员和技术人员组成,他们的主要任务是执行医疗后送和救援生命,“而非发动战争”。
In a social media message written in Creole and directed at gang leaders, Mr. Bukele stressed that the four missing men were not combatants. El Salvador’s contingent in the Gang Suppression Force is made up of pilots and technical personnel whose primary job is to carry out medical evacuations and save lives, “not to wage war,” Mr. Bukele said.
自2019年上任以来,这位右翼领导人布克勒因对萨尔瓦多帮派实施严厉打击而广为人知。这个曾经暴力横行的国家如今已成为世界上最安全的国家之一。随着数千名被指控的帮派成员被关押在一座最高安保监狱中,萨尔瓦多拥有世界上最高的监禁率。
Mr. Bukele, a right-wing leader in office since 2019, is widely known for overseeing a harsh crackdown on El Salvador’s gangs. A nation once awash in violence is now among the safest in the world. And with thousands of accused gang members locked up in a maximum-security prison, it has the highest incarceration rate in the world.
他的帖子附带了一段视频片段,画面显示装甲军用车辆在一条荒凉的街道上开火,该街道疑似曾是激烈战斗的现场。
His post included a video clip of armored military vehicles firing weapons in a desolate street that appeared to have been the scene of heavy fighting.
他说,为营救失踪的萨尔瓦多人而发起的军事行动只有一项任务,就是把他们活着带回来。
A military operation launched to rescue the missing Salvadorans has a single mission to bring them back alive, he said.
他写道:“我要让你们这些帮派头目非常清楚地明白一件事:如果我们不能把所有四名人质都活着带回来,今天的袭击与即将到来的一切相比根本不值一提。不要把我们的话当作空洞的威胁。我们已经在萨尔瓦多解决了帮派问题,也能解决你们。”但他表示,帮派成员仍有时间避免遭到报复。
“I want you, the gang leaders, to understand one thing very clearly: today’s attack is nothing compared to what is coming if we do not get all four hostages back alive,” he wrote. “And do not take our word for empty threats. We have already finished with the gangs in El Salvador, and we can finish with you too.”But he said gang members still have time to avoid repercussions.
他写道:“把我们的四名同胞活着、毫发无损地交还给我们,一切将恢复到绑架案发生前的状态。决定权在你们手中。”帮派镇压部队和一支主要由私人军事承包商组成、实施无人机打击的海地国家警察特遣队,已在绑架案发生地与帮派成员交战数日。
“Return our four compatriots to us alive, without any harm, and everything will go back to how it was before the kidnapping,” he wrote. “The decision is in your hands.”The Gang Suppression Force and a Haitian National Police task force comprised largely of private military contractors who launch drone strikes have been engaged in battle with gang members in the area where the abduction took place for days.
帮派镇压部队在一份声明中表示,在试图寻找这些男子的行动中,数名帮派成员被打死,四名帮派镇压部队士兵受伤。
Several gang members were killed and four Gang Suppression Force soldiers were injured in operations to try to find the men, the force said in a statement.
帮派镇压部队表示,早先有报道称五名萨尔瓦多人失踪,该消息不实。
Initial reports indicating that five Salvadorans had gone missing were incorrect, the Gang Suppression Force said.
帮派镇压部队于4月抵达海地,任务是积极打击在该国制造混乱的帮派。
The Gang Suppression Force arrived in Haiti in April with the mission to aggressively go after gangs wreaking havoc in the country.
过去五年里,随着海地与恐吓整个社区的武装团体作战,已有超过22,000人在帮派暴力和警方行动中丧生。
More than 22,000 people have died in gang violence and police operations in the past five years as Haiti battles armed groups that terrorize entire communities.
经联合国安理会授权,该部队预计将达到5,500名士兵,但一直难以达到满编。目前该部队由来自六个国家的约2,000名士兵组成:危地马拉、牙买加、乍得、萨尔瓦多、蒙古和斯里兰卡。
Authorized by the U.N. Security Council, the force was expected to reach 5,500 troops, but has struggled to achieve full capacity. It currently comprises about 2,000 soldiers from six countries: Guatemala, Jamaica, Chad, El Salvador, Mongolia and Sri Lanka.
“帮派正在试探多国安全支援任务部队,”该部队特别代表杰克·克里斯托菲德斯周一在联合国安理会表示。“我们记录到针对我们部队的敌对事件增加——单月内从两起增至15起。”海地政府官员未回应置评请求。
“Gangs are testing the G.S.F.,” the force’s special representative, Jack Christofides, told the U.N. Security Council on Monday. “We recorded an increase in hostile incidents against our force — from two to 15 in a single month.”Haitian government officials did not respond to requests for comment.
周三,即绑架案发生三天后,总理阿利克斯·迪迪耶·菲斯-艾梅发表声明,称该绑架案是国家当局的“绝对优先事项”。埃米利亚诺·罗德里格斯·梅加参与了报道。
On Wednesday, three days after the kidnapping, Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé released a statement calling the abduction “an absolute priority” for state authorities. Emiliano Rodríguez Mega contributed reporting.
