海地首都附近社区遭帮派袭击 至少47死逾50人被绑

周末，海地首都太子港附近的Kenscoff社区遭到武装帮派袭击，造成至少47人死亡，其中包含至少5名儿童，另有超过50人被绑架 1。袭击导致25栋房屋被纵火焚毁，两名政府雇员在事件中丧生，其中包括Kenscoff市长Jean Massillon的一名表亲 1。

发动此次袭击的帮派隶属于被美国指定为外国恐怖组织的Viv Ansanm联盟 1。一名自称Izo 2（又称Didi）的帮派头目表示，他代表海地最强大的帮派成员之一Johnson André（Izo）采取行动，并威胁海地国家警察局长Vladimir Paraison称，若有帮派士兵受伤，他们将杀害所有人质 1。此次袭击被视为该帮派对海地政府和警方的一次武力展示，正值海地准备于12月13日举行十多年来首次大选之际 1。目前，武装人员已控制太子港约70%的区域以及海地中部的大片土地，帮派暴力已导致海地150万人流离失所 1。据联合国统计，今年1月至6月期间，海地已有超过3050人遇害，1400人受伤 1。

An armed gang attacked the Kenscoff community near Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince, over the weekend, killing at least 47 people and kidnapping more than 50 others 1. The violence resulted in 25 houses being set on fire, and at least five of the dead were children 1. Among the casualties were two government employees, including a relative of Kenscoff Mayor Jean Massillon 1.

The gang leader, who goes by the name Izo 2 or Didi, stated he was acting on behalf of Johnson André, also known as Izo, one of Haiti's most powerful gang figures 1. Following the assault, the leader threatened Haitian National Police Chief Vladimir Paraison, warning that all hostages would be executed if gang soldiers are injured 1. The attacking gang belongs to the Viv Ansanm coalition, which has been designated as a foreign terrorist organization by the United States 1.

This assault is viewed as a show of force against the Haitian government and police, occurring as the country prepares for its first elections in over a decade on December 13 1. Currently, armed groups control approximately 70% of Port-au-Prince and large areas of central Haiti 1. The ongoing gang violence has displaced 1.5 million people across the country 1. Furthermore, United Nations statistics indicate that more than 3,050 people were killed and 1,400 injured in Haiti between January and June of this year 1.
