Nayib Bukele says Salvadoran troops destroyed gang HQ in Haiti

One of Haiti's main gangs, under relentless fire from these helicopters. Troops from El Salvador carrying out President Nayib Bukele's pledge to rid Haiti of its criminal gangs and their tight grip on the country. We kept our promise. We destroyed the house of gang leader Jimmy Chérizier and the 400 Mawozo gang's headquarters. Most of them ran away without even trying to fight. What cowards. The opening strike in a major operation, with 2,000 Salvadoran troops now deployed in Haiti, the intervention follows the disappearance of four Salvadoran soldiers serving with the gang suppression force. They have been missing since October the 18th, after a gang attack near Port-au-Prince. In a social media post, Haiti's prime minister praised the Salvadoran forces, while the president of the neighboring Dominican Republic also voiced his support for Bukele. We are collaborating with President Bukele and we're supporting him with all logistics and intelligence and will continue to support the work they are doing in Haiti. Most of the troops sent by El Salvador are not part of the UN-backed gang suppression force. This operation therefore falls outside of the UN's mandate and its monitoring mechanisms. On Monday, Amnesty International urged the governments of El Salvador and Haiti to publish the agreement governing the deployment and to ensure their operations against the gangs respect human rights.
