A high-ranking official from Haiti's Ministry of National Defense, James Boyard, has been abducted by armed individuals. Boyard is recognized as a significant security expert crucial to the nation's reconstruction efforts. The kidnapping occurred in the Bourdon district of the capital, Port-au-Prince, an area considered relatively safe despite widespread gang control. Gangs are estimated to control approximately 70% of the city. The perpetrators and their motives remain unclear, with no ransom demands reported yet. Given Boyard's guarded status, authorities suspect inside assistance facilitated the abduction. This incident underscores the pervasive gang violence plaguing Haiti since 2021, which has resulted in numerous deaths and mass displacement.
