El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele announced that Salvadoran Special Forces and Haitian security personnel have successfully secured Sylvio Cator Stadium in Port-au-Prince, marking a significant development in the joint campaign against armed gangs in Haiti.

According to Bukele, the operation was conducted under a bilateral security agreement between the governments of El Salvador and Haiti, bringing together the Haitian National Police, the Haitian Armed Forces (FAd’H), the Task Force, and Salvadoran Special Forces.

During the operation, security personnel reportedly discovered several human skulls inside the stadium, raising further concerns about the criminal activity that may have taken place at the facility while it remained outside government control.

Bukele also confirmed that the stadium will be converted into an operational base, providing security forces with a strategic position from which to expand operations into territories held by criminal organizations.

Following the announcement, the Salvadoran president issued a warning to gang members operating in the surrounding area, urging them to leave before the next phase of the offensive begins.

The operation highlights El Salvador’s growing role in Haiti’s international security efforts, as the Bukele administration works alongside Haitian authorities to recover strategic locations and challenge the territorial influence of criminal groups.
