As a Salvadoran, our problems stem more from our own people, joining gangs and extorting and murdering our own. It became a thing after the conflict from the aftermath of the civil war (FMLN vs ARENA). That's when the gangs took over.
Consequently, that's why many of us love our current benevolent dictator. Sure he's fucking harsh but he's effective.
Anyways, you're thinking more of Mexico. And if you think about it, that's probably why Bukele has been effective. Namely, cause the gangs are separate from the drug cartels even if they may have brushed elbows. The cartel seems more organized and more deeply rooted that I doubt they could be taken down by one man's decisions.
Nevertheless, I appreciate the sentiment.
