Salvadoran soldiers in Haiti: clarifications provided

As part of the mission against gangs in Haiti, several thousand soldiers from El Salvador have been deployed on Haitian territory. The spokesperson for the Gang Suppression Force (GSF), Igor Rugwiza, specified that these soldiers are not all engaged in the same operations. One part will join the GSF directly and follow its directives, while another is deployed under the exclusive command of El Salvador.

Rugwiza also indicated the establishment of a coordination mechanism between the Haitian authorities, the GSF, and their partners. He emphasized that this mission is not limited to Croix-des-Bouquets or the West Department, although particular attention is currently being paid to these areas.
