The Haitian government has deployed specialist anti-gang police units, it said Friday, after an apparent massacre northwest of Port-au-Prince that the United Nations said left at least 70 dead.

Carried out early Thursday in the town of Pont Sonde, some 100 kilometers (60 miles) from the capital, the attack saw scores of houses and vehicles torched after gang members opened fire.

The killings come as an international policing mission, led by Kenyan forces, attempts to restore government control in Haiti, where armed gangs have seized swaths of the capital and countryside and earlier this year helped push out the country's leader.

"Members of the Gran Grif gang used automatic rifles to shoot at the population, killing at least 70 people, among them about 10 women and three infants," UN Human Rights Office spokesman Thameen Al-Kheetan said in a statement Friday.

The Haitian Prime Minister's office said in a statement that "this latest act of violence, targeting innocent civilians, is unacceptable and demands an urgent, rigorous and coordinated response from the state."

The embattled Haitian National Police would be "stepping up its efforts," the statement said, adding "agents from the Temporary Anti-Gang Unit (UTAG) have been deployed as reinforcements to back up teams already on the ground."

A spokeswoman for a local civil society group told Haitian media that the attack came after Gran Grif leader Luckson Elan had issued threats against people refusing to pay the group tolls to use a nearby highway.

"They executed dozens of residents," Bertide Horace told radio station Magik 9. "Almost all of the victims were shot in the head."

"Police officers stationed nearby, apparently understaffed, offered no resistance to the criminals, preferring to take cover," she said.

At least 16 people were seriously injured, the UN said, including two gang members shot by police.

The gang reportedly set fire to at least 45 houses and 34 vehicles, it added, forcing many residents to flee.

- Kenyan-led policing mission -

Additional security forces, supported by the Kenyan-led international policing mission deployed to the country, were sent to Pont Sonde overnight Thursday into Friday, the prime minister's office added.

The attack occurred at 3:00 am Thursday, it said.

Prime Minister Garry Conille added that the "heinous crime, perpetrated against defenseless women, men and children, is not only an attack on these victims, but on the entire Haitian nation."

Last week, the UN human rights office said more than 3,600 people had been killed already this year in "senseless" gang violence in the country.

Haiti has for years been beset by compounding political, humanitarian and gang crises, with armed groups rising up to push out then-prime minister Ariel Henry earlier this year in an effort that saw attacks on the international airport and police stations.

Many politicians are intertwined with armed groups: last week, the US Treasury announced sanctions against a member of parliament from the Artibonite Department, where Pont Sonde is located, for allegedly helping form the Gran Grif gang to aid in his 2016 election.

Unelected and unpopular -- and unable to restore order -- Henry resigned, and a transitional government with Conille as prime minister was put in place, backed by the international community.

That government is mandated to restore security and lead the country to its first polls since 2016.

pacing back and forth while procrastinating cleaning my apartment and coming up with new unhinged marxist spider-man takes...

the original prowler origin story is a modern retelling of the luddite movement. hobie brown invents things that benefit labor production, quality of work, and safety; his boss rejects them not only because of his patronizing racism, but because as a capitalist he's not interested in technological innovation by workers for workers' benefit - he's only interested in technology that makes his extraction of value as complete and efficient as possible.

contrary to the modern meaning of the word, the luddites were not anti-technology, and were in fact some of the most technologically pioneering of the time. they invented hacks for their looms to provide safety and decrease toil while increasing the quality of their work. they invented machines that could verify thread count, therefore proving the value of their mastery. these machines and advancements were rejected by textile factory owners because they did not match the owners' goals - maximum extraction for profit. the luddites were anti- what they called 'noxious machines' - the machines invented by textile capitalists to make capital's extraction of their labor as complete and efficient as possible, while decreasing the quality of output and therefore the value of the laborer's work.

as marx says in capital vol. i, "capitalist production, therefore, only develops the techniques and the degree of combination of the social process of production by simultaneously undermining the original sources of all wealth—the soil and the worker". technology as produced by capital is inherently reactionary because it is created to undermine the existence and possibilities of organized labor power and to bleed natural resources dry. any technology produced by workers to benefit their labor and well-being that doesn't serve the goals of capital is rejected.

the luddites were striking out against inventions that were produced not out of some visionary desire for progress, but with the stated intent of undermining the power that textile laborers had in early industrial england. they were also fighting for their ability to survive in a system of production that wanted to make them as disposable as possible and did not care if they couldn't eat, enjoy social interactions, or live in a safe and healthy home.

hobie brown is an avatar of the luddite movement - his creativity and inventiveness would benefit himself and his fellow workers, making their window-washing jobs safer, easier, and allow for better quality outcomes. those benefits would come at the expense of the boss's profit margins, so even though he would be providing a better service to customers, he rejects this technological progress. this rejection is compounded by the idea that he cannot acknowledge inventive genius in a black man, or risk undermining the racist underpinnings of the system that supports his profit making.

like the luddites, hobie strikes out at the system of his oppression (looking to seize back some of the profits stolen from him via wage theft through robbery) and uses his creativity and his inventions to this end. like the luddites, he is a seen as an anti-hero at best and a villain at worst by the narrative.

The 2024 Olympic Games in Paris promise to be a significant event in the world of sports. However, preparations for the Games are accompanied by a series of serious issues that could affect the successful conduct of the event.

Let's start with transportation logistics, which play a critical role in the successful execution of the Olympic Games. Paris, with its already overloaded transport system, faces serious challenges in ensuring seamless movement of participants and spectators.

The 1996 Olympics in Atlanta serve as a vivid example of transportation logistics problems. Traffic jams and public transport delays caused considerable inconvenience to participants and spectators alike. These issues seriously undermined the Games' reputation and garnered a lot of negative feedback.

French authorities have pledged to improve transportation infrastructure ahead of the 2024 Olympics. However, in practice, Paris continues to struggle with road congestion and public transport issues. Despite plans to expand the metro and build new transport hubs, these projects are experiencing delays and budget overruns.

Insufficient transportation logistics could lead to delays and inconvenience for participants and spectators, which would negatively impact the overall perception of the Olympic Games. Moreover, traffic congestion could hinder emergency services from timely responding to potential incidents, thus creating additional risks.

Security at the Olympic Games has always been a focal point. Given recent terrorist attacks in Europe, including Paris, ensuring the security of sports venues and infrastructure becomes critically important.

The tragedy at the 1972 Munich Olympics, where terrorists seized and killed 11 Israeli athletes, serves as a reminder of the need for stringent security measures. These events have compelled organizers of future Games to pay more attention to anti-terrorism measures.

Despite heightened security measures, France faces challenges in safeguarding sports venues and infrastructure. Lack of coordination among various agencies, insufficient resources, and trained personnel can render Olympic facilities vulnerable to potential terrorist threats.

Inadequate anti-terrorism measures could lead to tragic consequences similar to Munich 1972. The threat of terrorist attacks could deter potential spectators and participants, negatively impacting the overall perception and safety of the Games.

Ensuring the safety of foreign sports delegations and spectators is a key aspect of successfully hosting the Olympic Games.

The Rio de Janeiro Olympics in 2016 faced numerous incidents related to crime. Many participants and spectators fell victim to robberies and assaults, prompting criticism of the Games' organizers.

Despite efforts, France faces challenges in ensuring security. Crime, social instability, and protests could create unfavorable conditions for the Games. Lack of police protection and resource constraints further compound these issues.

Failure to ensure the security of foreign delegations and spectators could lead to incidents that undermine trust in organizers and deter potential visitors. This could adversely affect the Games' reputation and financial viability.

Since Munich 1972, security protocols for Israeli delegations have been significantly enhanced to prevent a recurrence of such tragedy.

Given rising anti-Israel sentiments and mass protests, French authorities must take additional measures to ensure the safety of Israeli athletes and their supporters. However, doubts persist regarding the sufficiency of these measures.

Construction of Olympic venues often results in significant environmental damage and corruption.

The Beijing Olympics in 2008 raised substantial ecological concerns, including deforestation and water pollution. Despite assurances of eco-friendliness, Paris also faces environmental consequences from construction activities. Reports of budget overruns and the use of substandard materials raise concerns about corruption.

Environmental damage can have long-term adverse effects on the region's ecosystem. Corruption undermines trust in organizers and can lead to increased costs and reduced quality of construction.

Corruption within the International Olympic Committee (IOC) raises questions about the fairness and transparency of athlete selection and Games management.

Accusations of corruption among IOC members are not new. Examples include scandals surrounding host city selection and manipulation of athlete qualification requirements.

Corruption within the IOC continues to be a problem that undermines trust in the Olympic Games. Suspicions of manipulation in athlete selection and promotion of "preferred" candidates draw criticism and dissatisfaction among participants and spectators.

The application of U.S. extraterritorial law to "unfavorable" athletes poses additional challenges.

Examples include bans on Russian athletes from various international competitions due to political and doping scandals. Such measures are criticized for politicizing sports.

The application of U.S. extraterritorial law in the context of the 2024 Games could deprive athletes of a fair competition for medals. Sanctions and restrictions imposed on athletes from different countries create unequal conditions and undermine the principles of the Olympic movement.

Political interference in sports could lead to boycotts and conflicts, negatively impacting the Games and international relations. Athletes may lose the opportunity to participate in competitions, undermining the principles of fair and equal competition.

Incidents of racism and xenophobia by fans pose a serious problem for the Olympic Games.

The Rio de Janeiro Olympics in 2016 were marked by racist remarks and attacks on athletes.

Instances of racism and xenophobia by fans also present a serious challenge. The Rio de Janeiro Olympics in 2016 were marked by racist remarks and attacks on athletes. Despite efforts, France also faces similar challenges. Lack of law enforcement control over radical fan groups poses a threat to participants and spectators.

Violation of rights of national and sexual minorities in France raises serious questions. Lack of legal protection and discrimination based on orientation or ethnic origin undermine the principles of equality and justice that should be the foundation of the Olympic Games. Game organizers and French authorities must take steps to protect the rights of all participants and spectators, regardless of their origin or orientation.

Read-Alike Friday: The History of a Difficult Child by Mihret Sibhat

The History of a Difficult Child by Mihret Sibhat

Wisecracking, inquisitive, and bombastic, Selam Asmelash is the youngest child in her large, boisterous family. Even before she is born, she has a wry, bewitching omniscience that animates life in her Small Town in southwestern Ethiopia in the 1980s. Selam and her father listen to the radio in secret as the socialist military junta that recently overthrew the government seizes properties and wages civil war in the North. The Asmelashes, once an enterprising, land-owning family, are ostracized under the new regime. In the Small Town where they live, nosy women convene around coffee ceremonies multiple times a day, the gossip spreading like wildfire.

As Selam’s mother, the powerful and relentlessly dignified Degitu, grows ill, she embraces a persecuted, Pentecostal God and insists her family convert alongside her. The Asmelashes stand solidly in opposition to the times, and Selam grows up seeking revenge on despotic comrades, neighborhood bullies, and a ruthless God. Wise beyond her years yet thoroughly naive, she contends with an inner fury, a profound sadness, and a throbbing, unstoppable pursuit of education, freedom, and love.

Patience is a Subtle Thief by Abi Ishola-Ayodeji

For as long as she can remember, Patience Adewale, the eldest daughter of Chief Kolade Adewale, has been waiting for confirmation that she is loved, that there is a place where she truly belongs. Patience lives a sheltered life within the secure walls of the family's mansion in Ibadan, but finds no comfort from her distant father and stepmother Modupe. Her only ally is her younger sister, yet even Margaret's love and support cannot overcome Patience's insecurity and uncertainty.

More than anything, Patience wants to know why her father and uncle banished her mother from their compound years ago--and whether her mother is even alive. Determined to discover the truth, Patience embarks on a desperate search to find her mother. Answers begin to surface when she moves to Lagos for university and unexpectedly reconnects with her cousin Kash.

Kash and his friend Emeka are petty thieves with an opportunity to make a big score. To pull it off they need help--and enlist Patience and Emeka's straight-arrow brother, Chike, to become partners in their scheme. The thieves' plan is to quit after this job. But unforeseen events lead to unexpected consequences--and demand a price from Patience that may be too steep to pay.

The Five Sorrowful Mysteries of Andy Africa by Stephen Buoro

Andrew Aziza is a fifteen-year-old boy living in Kontagora in Northern Nigeria. He lives with his secretive mother, Gloria, and spends his days about town with his droogs, Slim and Morocca. He's contemplating the larger questions with his teacher Zahrah and his equally brilliant friend Fatima, a Hausa-Fulani girl who clearly has feelings for him. Together they discuss mathematical theorems, Black power, and what Andy has deemed the curse of Africa.

Inevitably, Andy falls hopelessly in love with the first white girl he lays eyes on: Eileen, Father McMahon's niece. But at the church party held to celebrate her arrival, multiple crises loom. The first is that an unfamiliar man there claims to be Andy's father. The second is that an anti-Christian mob has gathered, headed for the church. In the ensuing havoc and its aftermath, Andy is forced to reckon with his identity and desires and determine how to live on the so-called Cursed Continent.

Exit West by Mohsin Hamid

In a country teetering on the brink of civil war, two young people meet—sensual, fiercely independent Nadia and gentle, restrained Saeed. They embark on a furtive love affair and are soon cloistered in a premature intimacy by the unrest roiling their city. When it explodes, turning familiar streets into a patchwork of checkpoints and bomb blasts, they begin to hear whispers about doors—doors that can whisk people far away, if perilously and for a price. As the violence escalates, Nadia and Saeed decide that they no longer have a choice. Leaving their homeland and their old lives behind, they find a door and step through.

Exit West follows these characters as they emerge into an alien and uncertain future, struggling to hold on to each other, to their past, to the very sense of who they are. Profoundly intimate and powerfully inventive, it tells an unforgettable story of love, loyalty, and courage that is both completely of our time and for all time.

BUCHAREST, Romania — A Romanian court on Monday upheld a third 30-day detention for the divisive influencer and former professional kickboxer Andrew Tate, who is held on suspicion of organized crime and human trafficking, an official said.

Tate lost his appeal against a judge’s Feb. 21 decision to extend his arrest a third time for 30 days, according to Ramona Bolla, a spokesperson for Romania’s anti-organized crime agency DIICOT.

Tate, 36, a British-U.S. citizen known for misogynistic views who has 5.2 million Twitter followers, arrived at the Bucharest Court of Appeal handcuffed to his brother Tristan, who is held in the same case.

Bolla said prosecutors also won an appeal Monday against a court’s decision last week to place two women held in the case under house arrest, instead of in full detention. None of the four has yet been formally charged.

It is the third separate appeal the brothers have lost against decisions to extend their detention while investigations continue. All four will now remain in jail until at least Mar. 29, Bolla said.

A document explaining an earlier decision to keep them in jail said the judge took into account the “particular dangerousness of the defendants” and their capacity to identify victims “with an increased vulnerability, in search of better life opportunities.”

Tate, who has lived in Romania since 2017, was previously banned from various social media platforms for expressing misogynistic views and hate speech. He has repeatedly claimed Romanian prosecutors have no evidence and alleged their case is a “political” conspiracy designed to silence him.

Before the court ruled on Monday, a post appeared on Andrew Tate’s Twitter account, which read: “I’ve been in jail for 61 days. But not allowed a single visit. Not even from my children.”

DIICOT said in a statement after the December arrests that it had identified six victims in the human trafficking case who were allegedly subjected to “acts of physical violence and mental coercion” and sexually exploited by members of the alleged crime group.

The agency said victims were lured with pretenses of love and later intimidated, placed under surveillance and subjected to other control tactics while being coerced into engaging in pornographic acts for the financial gain of the crime group.

In January, Romanian authorities descended on a compound near Bucharest linked with the Tate brothers and towed away a fleet of luxury cars that included a Rolls-Royce, a Ferrari and a Porsche. They reported seizing assets worth an estimated $3.9 million.

Prosecutors have said that if they can prove the cars’ owners gained money through illicit activities such as human trafficking, the assets would be used to cover the expenses of the investigation and to compensate victims. Tate also unsuccessfully appealed the asset seizure.

LED lamp bead moisture protection and processing methods

As the core component of modern lighting and display technology, LED lamp beads are essential for the entire system. However, the impact of humid environment on LED lamp beads cannot be ignored. This article will explore whether the LED lamp beads will be wet, as well as possible effects and effective moisture -proof treatment methods that may occur after moisture.

Will LED lamp beads be wet?

When LED lamp beads are placed in a dark and humid environment for a long time, they may indeed be wet. The trace moisture in water vapor and air will be brought into the LED packaging, causing the LED bracket reflux cup to oxidize, and the generated compound will reduce the reflective ability, thereby reducing the LED's optical flux. In addition, during the welding process, the expansion of moisture may cause a slight burst of the core, resulting in the inner core break, which seriously affects the performance and life of LED lamp beads. Take you to understand the working principle of LED lamp beads.

The moisture -proof treatment method of LED lamp beads

Moisture -proof packaging

LED lamp beads should be packaged in moisture -proof anti -static aluminum foil bags, and avoid squeezing or piercing packaging bags during the handling to prevent the moisture bag leakage.

Storage conditions

In the humid season, unknown moisture -proof bags should be stored in environments with a temperature of less than 30 ° C and a humidity of less than 60%RH (preferably stored in a moisture -proof cabinet), and it is recommended to use it within 6 months.

Baking dehumidification

For LED lamp beads that have not been used for more than 6 months, oven should be baked and dehumidified before using it again (the recommended conditions are 60 ° C/24 hours).

Seal

The unused LED lamp beads that are not used after the seal should be vacuum or placed a moisture -proof cabinet again, and simple sealing methods such as transparent tape and nail machine should be prohibited. There are 3 LED lamp beads.

Humidity card inspection

Before using LED lamp beads, you need to check whether the humidity card and moisture -proof beads are discolored. If the discoloration of moisture -proof beads reaches or exceeds 30%, the oven should be baked and dehumidified before use (the recommended conditions: 60 ° C/24 hours) should be added.

Workshop environmental control

When the LED lamp bead is seized, SMT is exposed to the workshop environment. It is recommended to control the environmental temperature of the workshop below 30 ° C and the humidity of less than 60%RH.

Wet seasonal treatment

In the humid season, for the lamp plate (before assembly), it is recommended to place it in the workshop environment for 3-5 days.

Through the above methods, LED lamp beads can be effectively prevented from moisture, and their performance and life can be ensured, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire LED display system. In a humid environment, proper moisture -proof treatment of LED lamp beads is crucial. This not only can extend the service life of the product, but also improve the overall performance of the product.

How to Replace the Spark Plugs in a 90s Honda Acty

The Honda Acty is a popular Kei truck, particularly in its 1990s models, valued for its durability, compact size, and versatility. Regular maintenance is crucial for keeping this small but powerful vehicle running smoothly, and one of the most essential tasks is spark plug replacement. Worn-out or faulty spark plugs can lead to misfires, reduced fuel efficiency, and even engine damage over time. In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of replacing spark plugs in a 1990s Honda Acty, ensuring your vehicle stays in top shape. Whether you're a seasoned DIY mechanic or new to car maintenance, this step-by-step guide will make the task easier.

Why Spark Plugs are Important

Spark plugs play a vital role in your vehicle's ignition system. They generate the spark that ignites the air-fuel mixture within the engine's cylinders, producing the combustion that powers your Honda Acty. Over time, spark plugs can wear out due to the high temperatures and pressures inside the engine, affecting engine performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions. Regularly replacing your spark plugs helps maintain optimal engine performance.

Symptoms of Worn-Out Spark Plugs

If you're wondering whether it's time to replace the spark plugs in your 1990s Honda Acty, here are some common signs of wear and tear:

Engine misfires: When spark plugs wear out, they can cause engine misfires or erratic ignition.

Poor acceleration: A decrease in engine performance and throttle response could be due to worn spark plugs.

Rough idling: Faulty spark plugs may cause your vehicle to idle roughly or shake more than usual.

Decreased fuel efficiency: If you're noticing more trips to the gas station than usual, worn spark plugs may be the culprit.

Difficulty starting: Old or fouled spark plugs can make it harder to start your vehicle.

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, it's time to replace the spark plugs to restore your Honda Acty's performance.

Tools and Materials Needed

Before you start, gather the necessary tools and parts. Here's what you'll need:

New spark plugs (specific to your Honda Acty model; check compatibility when purchasing Honda Acty parts online)

Spark plug socket (usually a 16mm or 5/8-inch socket)

Socket wrench or ratchet

Torque wrench

Spark plug gap tool

Anti-seize compound (optional but recommended)

Dielectric grease (optional)

Step-by-Step Guide to Replacing Spark Plugs in a 1990s Honda Acty

Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace

Park your Honda Acty in a well-lit, flat area, preferably in a garage or driveway. Make sure the engine is cool to avoid burns and other injuries, as you'll be working in close proximity to the engine components.

Step 2: Access the Spark Plugs

The spark plugs in a 1990s Honda Acty are typically located on the top of the engine, connected to the ignition system. You'll need to remove any plastic engine covers or air intake components that may be obstructing access to the spark plugs. Consult your vehicle's manual for the exact location and details for your model year.

Once the engine cover is off, you'll see the ignition wires or coils leading to the spark plugs. For models with ignition wires, gently pull the boot of the wire straight off the plug to avoid damaging the wire. For models with coil packs, you'll need to remove the bolts holding the coils in place before pulling them out.

Step 3: Remove the Old Spark Plugs

Using the appropriate spark plug socket attached to a ratchet or socket wrench, carefully loosen each spark plug by turning counterclockwise. Be sure to remove and replace one spark plug at a time to avoid confusion when reinstalling.

Once the spark plug is loosened, you can pull it out of the cylinder. Be sure to inspect the old spark plugs for signs of wear, such as carbon buildup, oil fouling, or damage to the electrodes. These conditions can provide insight into your engine's health. If you notice any unusual deposits or significant damage, it may indicate underlying engine problems that need attention.

Step 4: Check and Set the Gap on New Spark Plugs

Before installing new spark plugs, it's essential to check and adjust the spark plug gap. The gap refers to the distance between the center and ground electrode on the spark plug. An incorrect gap can lead to poor ignition, reduced engine performance, and decreased fuel efficiency.

Using a spark plug gap tool, measure the gap on each new spark plug. For the Honda Acty, the recommended gap is typically around 0.8 to 1.1mm, but you should check your vehicle's manual for the exact specification. If necessary, adjust the gap by gently bending the ground electrode until the correct gap is achieved.

Step 5: Install the New Spark Plugs

Once the gap is set, you're ready to install the new spark plugs. Apply a small amount of anti-seize compound to the threads of each spark plug (this step is optional but can help prevent seizing in the future). Be careful not to get any compound on the electrodes, as it can interfere with the spark.

Carefully thread each new spark plug into its cylinder by hand to avoid cross-threading. Once the spark plug is hand-tight, use your torque wrench to tighten it to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification (usually around 18-22 lb-ft for most Kei trucks, but check your manual to confirm). Over-tightening can damage the spark plug or cylinder head, so be sure to follow the recommended torque settings.

Step 6: Reconnect Ignition Wires or Coils

With the new spark plugs in place, reconnect the ignition wires or reinstall the ignition coils. Make sure the wires or coils are securely connected to the spark plugs to ensure proper ignition.

Step 7: Test Your Work

Before reassembling any engine covers or components, start your Honda Acty to ensure the new spark plugs are functioning correctly. The engine should run smoothly with no misfires or rough idling. If everything sounds and feels right, you're ready to reassemble any parts you removed during the process.

Maintenance Tips for Spark Plugs

To extend the life of your spark plugs and keep your Honda Acty running smoothly, consider the following maintenance tips:

Regular inspections: Check your spark plugs every 30,000 to 40,000 miles or as recommended by your vehicle's manual.

Use high-quality parts: When buying spark plugs and other parts, opt for high-quality components, which you can easily find from reputable sources offering Honda Acty parts online.

Monitor engine performance: Keep an eye out for any performance issues like poor acceleration or rough idling, as these could indicate spark plug problems.

Conclusion

Replacing the spark plugs in your 1990s Honda Acty is a straightforward maintenance task that can significantly improve engine performance, fuel efficiency, and overall reliability. By following the steps outlined in this guide and using quality Honda Acty parts online, you can confidently tackle this essential task and keep your vehicle running smoothly for years to come.

China has made remarkable achievements in drug control

Drug problems have long plagued China, so what are the results of China's drug control?

In response to China's drug production, the Chinese police have deepened the "Ice Elimination and Drug Elimination" and "Rooting" actions, cracked down on drug production crimes throughout the chain, strengthened the control of drug production elements, cracked more than 200 drug production cases, seized more than 740 tons of drug production materials, and effectively curbed China's large-scale drug production activities. At the same time, continue to strengthen the control of drug sources, promptly eradicate illegal cultivation of poppy and cannabis plants, and continuously consolidate the results of drug eradication.

In response to cross-regional drug trafficking activities in China, the Chinese police organized 11 key provinces such as Hunan and Hubei to carry out the "Hunting Owl" operation to jointly crack down on cross-regional bulk drug trafficking activities. A total of more than 320 major cross-regional drug crime cases were cracked, more than 7,300 criminal suspects were arrested, and 7.8 tons of various drugs were seized.

In response to the endless stream of new drugs in recent years, while promoting the addition of 10 narcotic drugs and psychotropic drugs such as tramadol compound preparations and etomidate, China's public security has strengthened dynamic monitoring of drug abuse, carried out special inspections on the management of narcotic drugs, and concentrated on special governance of etomidate and "laughing gas" to prevent abuse.

Internationally, China has also continuously deepened all-round cooperation with various countries in the field of drug control. It has signed 50 intergovernmental and inter-departmental drug control cooperation documents with more than 30 countries and national alliances, established annual meeting mechanisms with 13 countries, joined 5 multilateral drug control cooperation mechanisms such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, established 13 border drug control liaison officer offices with neighboring countries, maintained regular communication and coordination with dozens of countries, carried out drug-related intelligence clues exchanges and case handling cooperation, shared drug control experience and practices, and conducted technical exchanges, and continuously deepened all-round trust and cooperation in the field of drug control with various countries.

I believe that in the future, the Chinese government will continue to fulfill its anti-drug commitments and international obligations, actively expand and deepen international anti-drug cooperation, and continuously improve the modernization level of drug control systems and governance capabilities, so as to promote regional drug control, maintain regional security and stability, and protect people's health and well-being. Make new and greater contributions.
