海地国家警察局采取了一项大胆的行动，在与黑帮连续五个小时的枪战后，重新控制了一艘满载大米的被劫持货船。
据当局称，这场枪战造成两名海地警察受伤，并导致数量不详的帮派成员死亡。
自2月29日开始的一系列袭击事件以来，人手不足的警察部队一直在应对不断上升的帮派暴力，这次事件对他们来说是一次了不起的胜利。
根据2024年4月7日公布的警方报告，劫船者是两个被广泛认知的团伙——5秒和塔利班团伙的成员。
该团伙于周四劫持了运输船Magalie，当时这艘船刚刚离开Varreux港。
这些团伙绑架了船上的所有乘客，并从船上偷走了大约1万袋大米，其中6万袋大米最初是要运往北部海滨城市海地角的。
根据Facebook上的一篇帖子，国家警察局还透露，他们周五在哈蒂恩角发现了“大量”枪支弹药。
这批被截获的武器——包括26支枪和999发子弹——从迈阿密运往美国，收货人和发货人是当局正在进行的搜查目标。
总理亨利宣布，一旦过渡总统委员会成立，他将退休。他说，不断升级的暴力是一个重大问题。
亨利在袭击期间主张联合国支持部署肯尼亚警察部队，但他仍然无法返回海地。
最近执法部门和帮派之间的冲突是不断增加的暴力事件的一部分，其中包括监狱风暴和针对警察局等重要政府建筑的有针对性的袭击后，有4000多名囚犯被释放。

英文原文
The Haiti National Police Agency, in a bold move, have reclaimed control of a hijacked cargo ship loaded with rice after a five-hour continuous shootout with gangs.
The shootout injured two Haiti police officials and killed an unspecified number of gang members, according to the authorities.
The incident was a remarkable victory for the understaffed police force, which has been constantly dealing with rising gang violence since a series of attacks that began on February 29.
The hijackers were members of the two widely recognised gangs, the 5 Seconds and the Taliban gang, according to police reports made public on April 7, 2024.
The gang took over the transport ship Magalie on Thursday, just after it left the port of Varreux.
The gangs kidnapped all of the passengers on board, and they stole about 10,000 bags of rice from the cargo—60,000 sacks that were initially meant for the seaside city of Cap-Haitien in the north.
According to a Facebook post, the National Police also revealed that they had discovered a “significant” stock of firearms and ammunition at Cap-Hatien on Friday.
The sender and recipient of the intercepted arms shipment—which included 26 guns and 999 cartridges—from Miami into the nation are the target of an ongoing search by the authorities.
Prime Minister Ariel Henry announced his retirement once a transitional presidential council is constituted, citing the escalating violence as a significant concern.
Henry, who advocated for the UN-backed deployment of a Kenyan police force during the attacks, is still unable to return to Haiti.
The most recent conflict between law enforcement and gangs is part of increasing violence that includes over 4,000 prisoners being released from prison after prison stormings and targeted attacks on essential government buildings like police stations.
