武装人员本周早些时候在海地首都少数几个被认为相对安全的区域之一绑架了一名极具声望的安全专家。
一位了解事件情况的人士周六表示,目前尚不清楚是谁绑架了这名身份为詹姆斯·博亚尔的官员。博亚尔担任国防部内阁主任,同时也是一名广受尊敬的安全专家,还兼任海地警察总监。
他是近年来这个帮派肆虐的加勒比国家遭遇绑架的级别最高的官员。
另一位被授权公开谈论此案的知情人士周六向美联社证实了这起绑架事件。
当地媒体报道,博亚尔于周四在布尔东地区被绑架,这里是太子港少数几个被认为相对安全的区域之一。首都约70%的区域被名为“团结共存”的强大帮派联盟控制,美国已于去年5月将该组织列为外国恐怖组织。
博亚尔同时也是一名政治学家,他的任务是协助重建海地武装部队,并帮助评估海地国家警察以推进改革。
目前尚不清楚绑匪是否索要赎金。
“拥有这种级别的官员,显然配有相当重要的安保团队,”国际危机组织分析师迭戈·达林说道。
他表示,博亚尔的被绑架可能意味着此次绑架经过了周密策划,或许有赖于其安保团队内部人员的勾结。
达林称,绑架事件正越来越多地发生在太子港曾被视为安全区域的地带,帮派成员有时会身着警服,以虚假执法行动为由拦截车辆。
他指出,帮派一直在绑架持有双重国籍的人员,并将目标对准政府官员。这可能意味着他们在索要更高额赎金,同时也可能试图阻止当局袭击关押受害者的帮派控制区域,达林补充道。
警方近日袭击了由约翰逊·安德烈领导的“5塞贡德”帮派控制的上帝村。安德烈绰号“伊佐”,被认为是海地最有权势的帮派头目之一。
达林提到,帮派一直将部分绑架受害者带往上帝村。
近年来备受关注的绑架事件目标包括海地记者和国际传教士。根据联合国的一份报告,2025年12月至2026年2月期间,据报有至少267人遭绑架,其中大多数为男性。
报告显示,2025年全年据报发生1268起绑架事件,较前一年的2058起下降了近40%。
Armed men kidnap respected security expert in gang-wracked Haiti

Armed men snatched a highly respected security expert earlier this week in one of the few places in the capital city of Haiti to be considered relatively safe.
It was not clear who kidnapped the politician, identified as James Boyard, cabinet director of the Defense Ministry and a highly respected security expert who also serves as inspector general of Haiti’s police, a person with the knowledge of the situation said Saturday.
He is the highest-ranking official to be kidnapped in the gang-wracked Caribbean country in recent years.
A person with knowledge of the situation who was not authorized to speak publicly about the case confirmed the kidnapping to The Associated Press on Saturday.
Boyard was seized Thursday in Bourdon, local media reported, one of the few areas in Port-au-Prince that is considered relatively safe. An estimated 70% of the capital is controlled by a powerful gang coalition known as Viv Ansanm, which the U.S. designated as a foreign terrorist organization in May last year.
Boyard, who is also a political scientist, was tasked with helping rebuild Haiti’s armed forces and has helped assess Haiti’s National Police to implement reforms.
It was not clear whether a ransom has been requested.
“A person of this rank clearly has a fairly important security detail,” said Diego Da Rin, an analyst with the International Crisis Group.
He said the abduction of Boyard possibly suggests the kidnapping was planned with great detail and might have depended on the collaboration of someone close to his security detail.
Da Rin said kidnappings are increasingly occurring in areas of Port-au-Prince once considered safe, with gang members sometimes donning police uniforms and stopping drivers as part of fake operations.
He noted that gangs have been kidnapping people with double nationalities and targeting public officials. That could mean they are seeking higher ransoms and possibly trying to dissuade authorities from attacking certain gang-controlled territories where kidnapping victims are being held, Da Rin said.
Police recently attacked Village de Dieu, which is controlled by the 5 Segond gang, led by Johnson Andre. Best known as “Izo,” he is considered one of Haiti’s most powerful gang leaders.
Da Rin noted that gangs have been taking some kidnapping victims to Village de Dieu.
High-profile kidnappings in recent years have targeted people including Haitian journalists and international missionaries. At least 267 people were reported kidnapped from December 2025 to February 2026, most of them men, according to a U.N. report.
In 2025, 1,268 kidnappings were reported, a nearly 40% drop from the 2,058 kidnapping reported the previous year, the report stated.
