Former coup leader and police chief of Haiti, Guy Philippe, who helped make Haiti a major Caribbean cocaine transit hub, has expressed his intention to tackle the severe gang violence plaguing his country by adopting a model similar to Nayib Bukele's approach in El Salvador. Bukele, the President of El Salvador, has significantly reduced his country's homicide rate through a militarized no-tolerance policy, leading to a decrease from 52 per 100,000 inhabitants in 2018 to 2 in 2023. Bukele has offered to 'fix' the chaos-torn Haiti, emphasizing that 'You have to send a clear message' to combat gang violence. He stated that a United Nations resolution and coverage of expenses are necessary for this intervention.
