Haiti Authorities Confirm Death of Gang Leader Mathias Saintil Amid Security Campaign
Haiti's authorities confirmed the death of gang leader Mathias Saintil, who reportedly died from serious abdominal wounds sustained in a drone strike in Boston, a gang-controlled area near Port-au-Prince. This development is part of an intensified security campaign involving Haitian forces and around 2,000 Salvadoran troops deployed since last month. The government aims to restore stability ahead of delayed elections, with some public support for the Salvadoran deployment and its hard-line approach to gangs.
