While on assignment for @nytmag in El Salvador, @moisessaman took this photo of Salvadoran police raiding a house in a gang-controlled neighborhood called Horizontes in Soyapango. In March 2016, the country’s president, Salvador Sánchez Cerén, announced a set of “extraordinary measures” that, he said, would put an end to the gangs that had made his nation the most homicidal place on Earth. A government-backed truce 4 years earlier had failed, and the death toll had climbed to 104 homicides per 100,000 people nationwide. So instead of supporting the truce, the ruling Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN) would deploy armed forces. Today, what’s happening in #ElSalvador is like a war in nearly every way, but the vocabulary of war has no words to describe this new variation. The gangs look something like an insurgency, but they seem to have no political aim other than to avoid being killed. “The government will have to pay the bill for what they’ve done,” said one gang member, a 33-year-old named Santiago. “They will have to answer to us, in one way or another.” Visit the link in our profile to read about how El Salvador’s gangs are trying to negotiate a way out of their bloody stalemate with the police.
