For 30 years, the UN and the “international community” have churned out resolutions, missions (MINUSTAH, MSS, GSF), reports, expert assessments and limited mandates.

Bukele arrives. In about ten days, he deploys more than 2,000 Salvadoran soldiers—more than the entire UN force—free from the bureaucratic straitjacket and multilateral chains of command. No six months of negotiations, no 200-page reports, no “respect for the gangs’ rights”. Just soldiers, armored vehicles, helicopters, and a clear determination to act.

Bukele has already proved at home that gangs can be broken. He has just shown it in Haiti in a single week, while the UN has been talking about it for three decades. Haitians in the streets understood it faster than the experts in New York and Geneva.
