Caribbean & Central America - October 2021
Introduction
In late August, Salvadorean investigative media El Faro published a report citing an investigation which found that the government led by President Nayib Bukele had held talks in maximum-security prisons in 2020 with El Salvador’s three main street gangs, the Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13), Barrio 18 Revolucionarios, and Barrio 18 Sureños. Just over a year earlier, the same media alleged that Bukele had held talks with MS-13 alone. The first piece in this October edition of the Latin American Regional Report: Caribbean & Central America looks at the latest claims.
