The leader of the Haitian gang 400 Mawozo, Wilson Joseph (alias «Lanmò San Jou»), has suggested that four Salvadoran soldiers missing since October 18 may have died during an armed clash in territory controlled by the group outside Port-au-Prince. Haitian authorities have stated they do not know the status of the missing service members, and Dominican Republic President Luis Abinader has declined to speculate on whether they remain alive.
In response to the unfolding situation, President Abinader ruled out military intervention in Haiti in accordance with United Nations norms, while establishing a firm security perimeter that prohibits Haitian gangs from approaching within 20 kilometers of the Dominican border. Additionally, the Salvadoran government issued a denial on Monday regarding a circulating message that falsely attributed criticisms of the Dominican Republic and its military to President Nayib Bukele.
