El Salvador’s Brutal War On Gangs

El Salvador’s Brutal War On Gangs Has Reached A New Level...

This is President Nayib Bukele’s prison.

It’s the largest prison in Latin America, and it was built only a couple of years ago. Before he took office in 2019, El Salvador had the highest murder rate in the world.

And some say this came at a great cost.

Others say Bukele’s brutal crackdown was a long time coming.

Let’s explore El Salvador’s bloody war on gangs, its escalating violence, and its inevitable consequences.
