VOA常速英语:U.S. Sanctions DRC Official(翻译)

The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control or OFAC, has sanctioned General Céléstin Kanyama, the Commander of the national police force in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo,for his role in police violence targeted against DRC civilians, including peaceful protestors.
美国财政部外国资产管理办公室（OFAC）制裁了Céléstin Kanyama上将。Céléstin Kanyama是刚果民主共和国（DRC）金沙萨国家警察部队指挥官，制裁原因是他参与了针对和平示威者等DRC平民的警察暴力行为。

The action is not directed at the people of the DRC, but rather is a targeted sanction imposed on one individual. It will freeze Kanyama’s assets subject to U.S. jurisdiction and generally prevent U.S. persons from engaging in transactions with him.
此次制裁并非针对DRC人民，而是以某一个人为目标。Kanyama名下所有受美国管辖的资产都将被冻结，这基本上防止了美国人民和他进行交易。

OFAC designated Kanyama for being responsible for or complicit in, or having engaged in, directly or indirectly,the targeting of women, children, or any civilians through the commission of acts of violence, abduction, or forced displacement in the DRC, and for being a leader of an entity that has, or whose members have, engaged in such conduct.
OFAC认为，Kanyama是暴力行为的负责人或者共犯，他直接或间接地参与其中。非法分子通过暴力、诱拐和强迫迁徙等手段针对DRC妇女、儿童和平民。Kanyama领导的组织，或组织成员实施了这些暴力行为。

The United States is concerned about the political crisis in the DRC. A continuation of the current practices of the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, especially the arrest of political opponents and restriction of legitimate political activity by opposition political parties and civil society, runs counter to the ideals of the DRC’s own constitution and could undermine the country’s stability.
美国对刚果民主共和国的政治危机表示关切。目前，刚果民主共和国政府一系列的行为，尤其是逮捕政治对手和限制反对派政党和民间团体合法的政治活动，与DRC的宪法背道而驰，严重影响了国家的稳定。

The United States urges all Congolese stakeholders to refrain from violence, and to commit to an inclusive, credible dialogue aimed at advancing national elections, in line with the constitution of the DRC.
美国敦促刚果所有的利益攸关者避免暴力行为，开展可信的包容性对话，并根据DRC宪法举办全国大选。

The United States remains a partner ready to work hand in hand with the people and Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo to ensure peaceful, credible, and democratic elections.But should conditions not improve, the United States will consider targeted sanctions against additional individuals.
美国时刻准备着与DRC人民和政府联手，共同保证和平、可信、民主的选举。但是如果情况仍没有改变，美国将考虑对其他个人进行制裁。

In announcing the sanctions against General Kanyama, OFAC’s Acting Director John E. Smith said,“As President Kabila’s constitutionally limited term nears its end in December, the regime has engaged in a pattern of repression, including the arrest of opposition members and violent suppression of political protests, all to avoid scheduling national elections.
OFAC代理主任John E. Smith在宣布对Kanyama上将的制裁时说：“根据宪法规定，卡比拉总统将于12月份卸任。刚果政府实施的镇压活动--如逮捕反对派成员和暴力镇压政治抗议--严重影响了全国大选的如期举行。

Treasury’s action sends a clear message that the United States condemns the regime’s violence and repressive actions,especially those of Céléstin Kanyama, which threaten the future of democracy for the people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.”
财政部的制裁明确表明，美国谴责刚果的暴力和镇压行为。尤其是Céléstin Kanyama那些威胁了刚果民主共和国人民民主制度未来的所作所为。”
