The headquarters of a powerful gang in Haiti was recently destroyed by Salvadoran soldiers. Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aime later issued a message to express his respect for the Salvadoran army and to express his gratitude to Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele for sending troops to wipe out Haitian gangs.

"AFP" reported that Bugele posted on the X platform, "We destroyed the residence of (gang leader) Lanmo San Jou and the headquarters of the gang '400 Mawozo'."

As can be seen in the video released by Bouguere, helicopters opened fire on houses in the Croix-des-Bouquets district near the Haitian capital Port-au-Prince.

Haitian Prime Minister Feiime later issued a message to express his gratitude to the Salvadoran soldiers and Bugle, "Salute to President Bugle...Thank you for your support and investment in the anti-gang operation."

A few days before the attack by the Salvadoran army, a netizen posted a photo of a building on the X platform, claiming that it was the headquarters of a gang, and asked Bugle to destroy it. Bugle replied: "Where is this house? Give us the detailed address and we will raze it to the ground."

"400 Mavozo" is famous for kidnapping and extortion. The real name of the leader Lanmosangju is Wilson Joseph. This gang kidnapped 16 American missionaries and 1 Canadian citizen in 2021. El Salvador's pro-government media stated that Joseph was not in the house when the Salvadoran army launched the attack.

The US media "Miami Herald" pointed out that a Haitian police task force launched a crackdown on Sunday with the support of Salvadoran troops. An anonymous source revealed that the operation resulted in the death of 20 people.

Open Questions

  • Will Salvadoran troops remain in Haiti to help fight gangs?
  • Did this attack truly weaken the power of "400 Mavozo"?
