“Amnesty International on Monday urged El Salvador and Haiti to release the agreement governing the mass deployment of Salvadoran troops into the gang-plagued Caribbean nation, and for both countries to ensure that rights are respected. Some 2,000 troops have been sent by El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele to Haiti since the mid-October disappearance of four Salvadoran personnel. The vast majority of the Salvadoran soldiers are not participating in the UN-backed Gang Suppression Force (GSF), raising concerns about their rules of engagement. … Bukele initially stated the deployment aimed at bringing home the missing personnel. However, he has subsequently hinted at a broader goal of eliminating Haiti’s powerful gangs, as he did in his own country with a campaign that has raised allegations of rights abuses.” (11/10/26)
