Port-au-Prince: PNH and Salvadoran soldiers retake control of Sylvio Cator Stadium

The presence of Salvadoran soldiers is gradually growing in the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area. After Croix-des-Bouquets, troops from El Salvador have been reported in downtown Port-au-Prince, notably at Sylvio-Cator Stadium, where a group was seen around 5 a.m. on Thursday. Other troop movements were also reported near Village-de-Dieu and the Salomon market.

Joint operations against armed gangs

These deployments are part of joint operations conducted with the Haitian National Police (PNH) against armed gangs. Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele shows no sign of easing the pressure. Despite displeasure expressed in Washington and reservations from some international institutions, he continues to reaffirm his country’s commitment to the operations aimed at restoring security in Haiti.
