NewzThe leader of the Haitian gang 400 Mawozo, Wilson Joseph (known as «Lanmò San Jou»), suggested that four Salvadoran soldiers missing since October 18 likely died during an armed clash in territory controlled by the organization. The soldiers went missing following a gang ambush on the outskirts of Port-au-Prince. Dominican Republic President Luis Abinader stated that Haitian authorities remain unaware of the exact status of the missing personnel and declined to speculate on whether they are still alive.
In related diplomatic developments, the government of El Salvador formally denied that President Nayib Bukele issued a message questioning the Dominican Republic or its military during the ongoing search efforts. Meanwhile, President Abinader reiterated that the Dominican Republic will not intervene militarily in Haiti, in accordance with United Nations standards, while establishing a firm security boundary to prevent Haitian gangs from approaching within 20 kilometers of the Dominican border.
