海地官员称，他们在首都击毙了一名主要帮派头目，与此同时，私人雇佣兵和至少2000名萨尔瓦多军队加入战斗，以夺回对这个饱受困扰的加勒比国家的控制权。
Haitian officials said they had killed a major gang leader in the capital as private mercenaries and at least 2,000 El Salvadoran troops join the fight to regain control of the troubled Caribbean nation.
海地国家警察表示，在与其他部队的联合行动中，他们袭击了“太阳城”的一个帮派据点，并重伤“波士顿”帮派头目马蒂亚斯·桑蒂尔，后者在当地一家医院死亡。
In a joint operation with other forces, Haiti’s National Police said they had attacked a gang stronghold in Cité Soleil and fatally wounded the leader of the “Boston” gang, Mathias Saintil, who died at a local hospital.
“少了一个帮派头目，”临时总理阿利克斯·迪迪耶·菲斯-艾梅在X平台上写道。“帮派将无法安睡。”海地的帮派危机吸引了一系列国际支持，包括联合国支持的打击帮派特遣部队，以及由前美国海豹突击队队员、黑水公司创始人埃里克·普林斯经营的一家私人军事公司。普林斯暗示，是他的承包商——被称为“特遣队”，作为国家警察（HNP）的一个师工作——对该帮派头目的死亡负责。
“One less gang leader,” Interim Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé wrote on X. “The gangs won’t be getting any sleep.”Haiti’s gang crisis has drawn an array of international support, including the UN-backed Gang Suppression Force and a private military company run by Erik Prince, a former US Navy SEAL and founder of Blackwater. Prince suggested it was his contractors, known as the Task Force, and who work as a division within the national police, or HNP, that were responsible for the gang leader’s death.
“向HNP特遣队致敬，”他在回复总理的留言时在X平台上写道。“漂亮一枪。”海地强大的帮派——一度控制了首都90%以上的地区，并迫使150多万人流离失所——正面临越来越大的压力。
“Hail to the HNP Task Force,” he wrote on X in response to the Prime Minister’s message. “Nice shot.”Haiti’s powerful gangs — which at some points have controlled more than 90% of the capital and forced more than 1.5 million people to flee their homes — are coming under increased pressure.
上个月，在四名萨尔瓦多士兵在海地失踪并被推定遭绑架后，总统纳伊布·布克尔开始向该国派遣数千名军队，并誓言要粉碎“邪恶”的帮派。
Last month, after four El Salvadoran soldiers disappeared in Haiti and were presumed kidnapped, President Nayib Bukele began sending thousands of troops to the country and has vowed to crush the “wicked” gangs.
周三，他发布了萨尔瓦多士兵在海地大部分空无一人的街道上巡逻的视频。“看起来帮派不想跟我们打仗，”他在X平台上写道。上周，海地最大、最臭名昭著的帮派头目之一、“400马沃佐”帮派的威尔逊·约瑟夫请求联合国建立和平谈判。
On Wednesday he posted videos of El Salvadoran soldiers patrolling largely empty streets in Haiti. “It looks like the gangs don’t want to fight us,” he wrote on Also last week, one of Haiti’s largest and most notorious gang leaders, Wilson Joseph of the 400 Marozo group, asked for the United Nations to establish peace talks.
