Haiti's largest gang, rooted in Ganthier and Port-au-Prince suburbs; linked to deportees, former opposition figures, smugglers, and police
Four Salvadoran aviation technicians have gone missing after an armoured vehicle was ambushed and set on fire in Croix-des-Bouquets, Haiti. El Salvador has launched a military operation and is sending more soldiers to recover them; Haiti’s government has said their release is a top priority while fighting with gangs continues in the area.
Haiti is grappling with a growing role for Salvadoran forces operating in the country to combat gangs. Haitian authorities say the international effort is meant to support the state, while concerns persist about legality and civilian safety as operations continue.
