400 Mawozo Hit Hard: Nayib Bukele Confirms Destruction of “Lanmò San Jou”’s House

Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele confirmed on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, the destruction of the residence of Wilson Joseph, alias “Lanmò San Jou,” leader of the 400 Mawozo gang, as well as the criminal organization’s headquarters in Croix-des-Bouquets.

“We kept our promise. We destroyed Lanmò San Jou’s house as well as the headquarters of the 400 Mawozo gang. Most of its members are fleeing without even trying to resist. What cowards they are!” the Salvadoran head of state wrote on his X account.

Stepped-up operations against armed groups in Haiti

The announcement comes amid intensified operations against armed groups in Haiti, particularly after the disappearance of four Salvadoran soldiers. The 400 Mawozo gang, especially active in the commune of Croix-des-Bouquets and its surroundings, is notably involved in kidnappings, killings and other criminal activities.

Details and toll of the operation remain unclear

With this statement, Nayib Bukele confirms the destruction of two facilities attributed to the armed group led by Wilson Joseph. However, the precise circumstances of the operation, the extent of the damage and any possible casualties have not yet been officially detailed.
