• Salvadoran-backed raid destroys 400 Mawozo headquarters, about 20 killed; Bukele rebuffs US diplomat's coordination concerns

  President Nayib Bukele said on Nov. 10 that Haitian police backed by Salvadoran troops destroyed the headquarters of the 400 Mawozo gang outside Port-au-Prince, an operation Al Jazeera said left about 20 dead. Haitian Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aime publicly praised it. After US diplomats raised concerns about coordination with the UN-backed Gang Suppression Force, Bukele pushed back on Nov. 11, saying air operations were coordinated with Haitian security forces. The deployment is put at about 2,000 to 2,500 troops depending on the source, and four Salvadoran aviation technicians missing since Oct. 18 have still not been found. Fils-Aime is due to visit El Salvador on Nov. 16 to discuss the troops' future presence.
