Haitian President Jovenel Moise was shot dead at his home, Interim Prime Minister Claude Joseph said in a statement early on Wednesday.

周三早些时候，临时总理克劳德·约瑟夫声明，海地总统若弗内尔·莫伊兹在家中被枪杀。

A squad of gunmen assassinated Haitian President Jovenel Moise and wounded his wife in an overnight raid on their home Wednesday.

周三，一群持枪人士深夜闯入海地总统若弗内尔·莫伊兹的私人住所，刺杀了总统莫伊兹并伤及了总统夫人。

Moise's wife, Martine, was in stable but critical condition and efforts were under way to move her to Miami for treatment, said Bocchit Edmond, the Haitian ambassador to the United States.

海地驻美国大使博奇·埃德蒙说，莫伊兹的妻子玛蒂情况稳定但很危急，正在努力将她转移到迈阿密接受治疗。

Edmond said the attack was carried out by "well-trained professional commandos" and "foreign mercenaries" who were masquerading as agents of the US Drug Enforcement Administration.

埃德蒙说，这次的袭击者伪装成美国缉毒署的特工，实则是“训练有素的专业突击队”和“外国雇佣兵”。

Haiti's Interim Prime Minister Claude Joseph on Wednesday called on the Haitian people to remain calm.

周三，海地临时总理克劳德·约瑟夫呼吁海地各方保持冷静。

In the early hours of Wednesday morning, Joseph said that the situation was under "control" and summoned the country's top officials to an emergency meeting.

周三凌晨，约瑟夫说局势得到了“控制”。并召集该国的高级官员召开了一次紧急会议。

Moise has been ruling Haiti, the poorest country in the Americas, by decree, after legislative elections due in 2018 were delayed. Disputes have been around on when his term ends.

在定于2018年举行的立法选举被推迟后，莫伊兹一直通过法令来治理海地这个美洲最贫穷的国家。关于他的任期何时结束的争议一直存在。

Haiti's constitutional referendum, which should have taken place in April but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, will be held on Sept 26, the national electoral commission announced on June 28.

国家选举委员会6月28日宣布，本应在4月举行但因新冠疫情而推迟的海地宪法公投将于9月26日举行。
