Nayib Bukele says Salvadoran troops destroyed gang HQ in Haiti
President Nayib Bukele announced Tuesday that Salvadoran troops have destroyed the headquarters of one of Haiti's most powerful gangs.
The announcement comes after Bukele deployed more than 2,000 Salvadoran troops to Haiti since late October, following the disappearance of four Salvadoran troops in the country. The operation specifically targeted gang infrastructure in the violence-plagued nation.
Haiti has been grappling with escalating gang violence that has destabilized the country and threatened regional security. The deployment represents a significant international intervention aimed at curbing the influence of criminal organizations.
The destruction of the gang headquarters marks a concrete step in El Salvador's military involvement in Haiti, though the long-term effectiveness of such operations remains uncertain as the country continues to face complex security challenges.
