El Salvador strikes 400 Mawozo gang headquarters in Haiti
El Salvador's military destroyed the headquarters of Haiti's 400 Mawozo gang in an operation outside Port-au-Prince, according to President Nayib Bukele.[3, 7] Al Jazeera reported that El Salvador's military fired rockets at a compound allegedly belonging to the gang's leader.[6] The operation followed the deployment of more than 2,500 Salvadoran troops after four aviation technicians were reportedly kidnapped by Haitian gangs, the International Business Times reported.[2]
The Dominican Republic's president said Tuesday that his government is collaborating with Bukele and providing him with logistics and intelligence.[4] International Business Times reported that U.S. diplomats are pushing back on the deployment despite President Donald Trump's public support.[2] The Los Angeles Times reported that observers say Bukele seeks to defuse international scrutiny over the deployment and drum up political support ahead of February elections.[8]
