Haitian Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aime praised Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele on Tuesday following a military operation that destroyed a suspected gang leader's home.
The operation involved Salvadoran troops targeting a suspected gang leader's residence in Haiti. The deployment came after four Salvadoran soldiers disappeared, prompting concerns about coordination with the UN-backed force tasked with combating Haiti's rampant gang violence.
Concerns raised
Bukele's decision to send more than 2,000 soldiers has sparked questions about the rules of engagement and how the Salvadoran forces will work alongside existing international efforts in Haiti.
