Bukele says Salvadoran troops will “teach Haiti’s gangs a lesson” during rescue mission
El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele said his country has deployed more than 2,000 soldiers to Haiti as part of a mission whose primary objective is to rescue four Salvadoran aviation technicians who were kidnapped. The operation also seeks to confront the armed gangs responsible for their abduction.
“We are not an invading army, nor do we have any neocolonialist intentions,” Bukele said during a press conference. He maintained that the deployment is not intended to occupy Haitian territory but to carry out a rescue operation.
The Salvadoran president added that the mission has the required national and international authorizations, stressing that his government intends to respond to the groups holding the technicians captive.
“It is a rescue mission for our aviation technicians, and along the way, we are going to teach the gangs that kidnapped them a lesson,” Bukele stated.
