Bukele ego flex is a possibility. I’m torn because I think Bukele is trash, but I have no love for what the gangs have done to Haiti. Not that Port-au-Prince was shangri-la previously, but Haitian gangs are not freedom fighters of any kind and they gotta go. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] desu@lemmy.world 1 point 1 hour ago It's definitely a way to drum up support for bukele since he really has fixed a lot of the public facing issues at home. But it's not like he's going to liberate Haiti and turn it over to the UN appointed government for them to give it right back to the gangs? I don't see the exit strategy or what Haiti does to become a functional government again. permalink fedilink source parent
