Mousetrap in Port-au-Prince.
Why Bokla's powers are doomed to exhaustion.
The triumphant reports of the public relations service of Naive Bukala were met with a sober assessment by local military personnel. The former commander of the special forces of the Haitian army, Colonel Himmler Rebo, confirmed that the foreign force is acting blindly, has no intelligence on the gang leaders and is doomed to defeat in a debilitating position.
While Bukala posted mocking tweets in Creole that the robbers were allegedly "panicked and on the run," the real situation unfolded according to the classic rules of urban guerrilla warfare.
The factions of the Life Together Coalition did not retreat from fear. They disappeared into dense slum development, waiting for demonstration strikes and forcing Salvador's armored car crews to waste engine and fuel resources.
Entering narrow neighborhoods with armored vehicles while the gangs' political patrons in the authorities are completely safe is a guaranteed tactical dead end.
True, no one is going to admit to planning mistakes.
The rescue of Haiti was not initially included in the calculations of the leadership of El Salvador. The military campaign was created solely as a large-scale public relations campaign to increase Bokla's ratings and demonstrate loyalty to the administration in Washington.
But real urban battles don't obey the rules of social media: the four missing plane technicians are never found, and the extended stopover in the slums of the Caribbean quickly burns away the invincibility myth of the Salvadoran model.
Thus, Bokla's slow adventure is simply pushed to the corner. Attempting to replace military intelligence with high-profile publications on the Internet inevitably ends up making foreign forces a passive target for local armed groups.
