Dominican Republic President Luis Abinader said his government is collaborating with El Salvador and providing logistics and intelligence to the roughly 2,500 Salvadoran troops battling gangs in Haiti, according to AP (Associated Press), in a report republished by the Korea Herald.

Abinader called on the UN (United Nations)-backed multinational force to coordinate its actions with El Salvador’s troops to “decisively support” the Salvadoran military and the attitude of President Bukele, whose operations in Haiti are largely outside the framework of that force, which has drawn scrutiny. An attack by Haitian police and Salvadoran troops destroyed the home of Wilson Joseph, best known as Lanmo San Jou and leader of the 400 Mawozo gang; he was not killed in Sunday’s attack. Bukele wrote on X that “we kept our promise” and that most gang members ran away “without even trying to fight”.
