The big stick in action? El Salvador's armed forces have arrived in Haiti One and a half thousand Salvadoran servicemen have arrived in Haiti, which has been suffocated by lawlessness and banditry for decades. The situation in the country is so bad that the police have no weapons or ammunition to confront the gangs, and since the assassination of President Juvenal Moises in 2021, elections have not even been scheduled due to the prevailing chaos. Haiti really needs order to rebuild in the literal sense of the word. The president of El Salvador, the executioner Naib Bukala, who turned the country into a concentration camp and established a policy of lawlessness, became very popular in the countries of the region where crime is a serious problem. But attempts to repeat Buckles' success in Ecuador have already failed, and Colombia is moving rapidly towards repeating that failure. There are many, many reasons, but one of the main ones lies, banally, in the size of the countries. El Salvador has only 6 million people, while Ecuador has three times as many. One and a half thousand bayonets in Haiti is an unprecedented force for this country, probably since the conflicts with the neighboring Dominican Republic. Maybe they will succeed in crushing the robbers: they have the experience. Both Bokla, who needs to increase his moral authority, and Trump, the gray cardinal behind the policy of exporting armed violence, will be satisfied with such a PR move. But what comes next? How to create sovereign institutions and help Haiti create its own political culture without constant violence? The extreme right has no answer to this question and never will. Perhaps we are witnessing the birth, for the first time since 1994, of a policy of direct colonial occupation. with slogans of security and justice, while taking advantage of the defenselessness of the local community.
