Dajabón Mayor warns of risks to Salvadoran soldiers

Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele had previously demanded the release of the four nationals, threatening to lead a military operation for their liberation if they were not freed.

Riverón also emphasized that the current disorder in Haiti benefits certain politicians and major entrepreneurs, who finance it through the purchase of weapons and ammunition. He stated that there are no quick solutions to Haiti's problems because this disorder is maintained by those who should be putting an end to it.

The leader of the Chen Mechan gang, Claudy Célestin, controls strategic sectors on the outskirts of Port-au-Prince. The Dominican armed forces have reinforced border posts to deal with potential risks.
