In this video, we delve into the complex issues plaguing El Salvador, a nation grappling with societal and political upheavals. El Salvador, once considered one of the most violent countries on Earth, is undergoing a period of change under the controversial leadership of Nayib Bukele.

His aggressive war against notorious gangs has resulted in a significant reduction in crime and has brought a fragile peace to numerous neighborhoods. However, these achievements are marred by numerous arrests and allegations of the suspension of civil liberties.

While there's no denying the visible improvement in safety and the decline of criminal activities, this change has been accompanied by concerns over democratic erosion.

Critics argue that Bukele's government has been dismantling democratic institutions and circumventing the rule of law. Questions also linger about the future stability of this peace, the implications of the crackdown on human rights, and the underlying issues of poverty, inequality, and discrimination that gave rise to the gangs in the first place.
