Haiti and El Salvador Intensify Operations Against Gang Leaders in Port-au-Prince
Haitian authorities, supported by at least 2,000 El Salvadoran troops and private mercenaries, have intensified efforts against gangs controlling parts of Port-au-Prince. In a recent operation in Cite Soleil, gang leader Mathias Saintil of the Boston gang was killed, reportedly involving drones and ground forces. El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele has deployed troops and military equipment to Haiti following the presumed kidnapping of Salvadoran soldiers. The campaign has drawn international attention, with some gang leaders seeking peace talks amid ongoing security operations.
