Salvadoran president launches operation to fight off gangers

Nayib-Bukele-2
San Salvador, Aug 1 (Prensa Latina) President Nayib Bukele on Tuesday announced that 7,000 soldiers and 1,000 police officers have been deployed in a siege of the Salvadoran downtown Cabañas Department to fight off gang bands.

The president stressed both military and police officers´ operation is aimed at preventing gangers from leaving the country and cutting off all supplies.

In recent weeks and as a byproduct of our crackdown on gangs, Cabañas Department became a place with highest number of terrorists who arrived there to look for rural areas to hide, Bukele stated, while adding that raids will continue as long as both the military and police officers be able to bust all gangers.
