"Return our four compatriots to us alive, without any harm, and everything will go back to how it was before the kidnapping." Sounds like they're admitting that they weren't doing a damn thing to stop the gangs in Haiti in the first place.

Pou chèf gang yo ak manm gang yo k ap kenbe kat konpatriyòt nou yo an otaj ann Ayiti: Mesye nou kidnape yo pa konbatan. Yo se teknisyen nan domèn avyasyon ki fè pati misyon nou ann Ayiti, nan kad yon misyon entènasyonal. Misyon nou an gen sèlman pilòt ak pèsonèl teknik, ki gen kòm travay prensipal fè evakyasyon medikal epi sove lavi moun, pa fè lagè. Men, nou te kidnape yo yon fason lach pandan yo t ap retounen apre yo te fin achte manje nan yon makèt nan zòn nan. Se poutèt sa, jodi a nou te lanse yon operasyon militè pou pote yo sekou. Nou gen yon sèl objektif: fè kat konpatriyòt nou yo retounen lakay yo vivan, san okenn mal. Men, mwen vle pou nou menm, chèf gang yo, konprann yon bagay byen klè: atak jodi a pa anyen devan sa k ap vini si nou pa remèt toule kat otaj yo vivan. Epi pa pran pawòl nou yo pou menas san fondman. Nou deja fini ak gang yo nan El Salvador, e nou kapab fini ak nou tou. Nou toujou gen tan pou evite sa. Remèt nou kat konpatriyòt nou yo vivan, san okenn mal, epi tout bagay ap retounen jan sa te ye anvan kidnaping lan. Desizyon an nan men nou.

Zelensky: We need 9.5 million people who lost their housing, who are abroad everywhere — we need them to come back to Ukraine, just to live and to build their country.

Bukele says the Salvadoran military is directly participating in an ongoing security operation in Haiti. After four Salvadoran troops deployed in Haiti with the UN-backed Gang Suppression Force were reportedly ambushed on Sunday, Bukele has issued an ultimatum to the country's armed groups. He added: "Return our four compatriots to us alive, without any harm, and everything will go back to how it was before the kidnapping." Last night the GSF expressed it's appreciation for the "additional support provided" by El Salvador's government. Haitian authorities are silent.
