Gang retaliation in Haiti after Bukele's military offensive

While 2,000 soldiers from El Salvador's troops sent by Nayib Bukele carry out an offensive in the Cul-de-Sac region in response to the kidnapping of four of their soldiers by the Chen Mechan and 400 Mawozo gangs, the Viv Ansamm group has in turn unleashed a ferocious retaliation in the last few hours against defenseless communities in the locality of Arcahaie.

According to what the Vant Bef Info portal reports, quoting the local mayor, Wilner René, there are at least sixteen victims of these actions and, among these, some members of the self-defense brigades.

The Haitian government confirmed yesterday the participation of special forces from El Salvador in operations against the armed gangs that control part of the territory and Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé himself thanked the Salvadoran president Nayib Bukele.
