- 🌎🔫 From being dubbed "the murder capital of the world" to a significant decrease in violence, El Salvador's journey under President Nayib Bukele is remarkable. In 2015, the country had the highest homicide rate globally, which has drastically reduced due to controversial anti-gang measures. This video dives into the drastic strategies that changed El Salvador's fate, from deploying military forces to innovative prison reforms. Discover how El Salvador combats its gang crisis and the international debate it sparks. #ElSalvador #Bukele #GangReform 🚨👮♂️#america #mexico #southamerica #crime #military #gang #police #prisionero #jailer #jail #CrimeReduction #HomicideRate #MilitaryStrategy #PrisonReform #GlobalSafety #ControversialPolitics

If you talk to anyone from El Salvador, they LOVE Bukele.
That is not a true statement. My daughter in law is from El Salvador and her family live and travel back and forth from El Salvador to the US and hate him along with a lot of citizens. His policies are effective but authoritarian and people worry he will not relinquish power.
@@Lucas-hb1uqwell then tell her to stay there and fight for change instead of complaining in the United States
@@professorbenjaminfranklinv9911 You didn’t read my comment. Her family lives there and they travel here to the states often. I hear them complaining about his authoritarian rule and fear of not relinquishing power. She is only here for law school
@Lucas-hb1uq true it is a slippery slope, but if he gives up power and leaves will the problem become a problem again? There is a fine line between authoritarian and having control and safety in a country. Glad I don't live there.
@@RimCheck It poses a hard question but there are also some clear issues. MS13 and gang violence was not broadcast equally around ES and some areas were no less safe than the US. The rights that were suspended affected everyone not just the criminals and those in high crime areas. It would be similar to suspending the right of all US citizens and violating everyone’s privacy because, Chicago, NYC, LA and Detroit have violent gang issues. Unfortunately democracy is slow and politicians are easily manipulated and this leads to dictators being effective in the short term but rarely do they give up power willingly. Lets hope he’s the exception
No matter how harsh Bukele's policy might be the alternative is much worse.
Im torn by it. On one hand I hate dictatorships. On the other hand the problem is so big that it took over the country. So I guess its like getting chemo treatment for cancer?
If he's an honorable, uncorrupt man, I would say he's hit on a solution that is more effective than most, if not all solutions tried in the world. There's gonna be some warts in any plan, but he had his heart in the right place. Now, the question is, can he maintain what he accomplished?
Evil cannot be fought against with good intentions and roses. Extreme situations call for extreme solutions.
@@ridethecurve55 Salvadorean here, I think if we done right we can mantain this, remember gangs doesnt born here at El Salvador, they born on the US, so there is no reason to new gangs appear now.
@@ridethecurve55 what by creating a penal colony? Do you really think that gangs just disappear and evaporate in prison? They multiply... and say goodbye to due process because if the state doesn't like you now anyone could be labelled as a "gang member" and your in there with the rest of them
This president is a legend
True, I support a nation that's safe in which to live and/or visit.
Viva Nayib Armando Bukele! 💪🏻
Bukele is a stud.
just wander if any innocent people were in prisoned but other then that ye
Can’t be to lenient to those brutal gangs. Show them who’s the boss. They only respect power. Bukele is trying make his country safe. Kudos to him!
this channel reuse footage too much is the problem
If ammesty international tries to smear you, you are doing the right thing.
Amen
aye
simple slogan for simple minds 😊
@@chiman75 go look up their track record, or the history, actions and connections of their leader.
You might change your mind about their agenda, cause it sure as sunshine isn't lining up with their stated mission goals.
Amen
Gangs don't believe in human rights either. You have to fight fire with fire.
To people like you i always say, would you like to be caught in the crossfire? Or do you only wish that on other people?
@@thecookiemeister5374better them always being in danger by gangs
@@thecookiemeister5374
If you lived in a country that was run by private individuals with stupid amounts of power, you'd understand. First world human.
@@harkeenblin7973 oh i’m not denying that what he did helped. But my honest question is, will he continue to take human rights away when the problem has been dealt with, or will he rescind those laws and return the right of privacy to the people.
Facts.
Safety and freedom has a heavy price. Well done EL Salvador
There are people in prisión without charges for nearly a decade. People locked up for life because of their tatoos.
You do realize he didn't solve the problem long term just made it worse.
Bout 50%
@@javiervega1065shut up, I watch skibidi toilet
"those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
Bukele is a hero! Brazil supports him!
Too bad Lula is spineless when it comes to crime there. Bolsonaro actually showed them who’s boss

@@javiervega1065 Yeah, right. Just about all of Latin America outside of the Far Left supports him
@@javiervega1065 bruh search what is bukake first 😂😂😂
Great quote from the President, send the gangs to the complainers
Yeah I loved that, these organizations dont actually seem to care about human life in el salvador
The countries that were complaining would soon realize that they are constantly seeing dead people because of MS-13.
Korea had a similar story. We declared war on crime during the 70s and 80s. Korea is one of the safest countries on earth.
But government corruption, not so much.
@@ridethecurve55Really? According to the international Corruption Index, South Korea ranks 32nd on a par with Spain or Portugal...El Savador ranks 115th and Russia is even more corrupt in 136th place...so your claim is not really valid.
@@zenon7094ask an Iberian how corrupt it Is there they'll laugh at your little ranking, where do you think Ibero America got it from.
Same with S.Korea , their previous lady president Park Geun Hyen or how much influence Samsung and a few others have. And that's barely what floats to the top, not what is secret and underground. Or you think that Boeing whistleblower killed himself , the US is supposed to be above corruption right
It's a corrupt world, there is corruption everywhere and those lists are made for the naive
@@zenon7094international corruption index 😂😂😂 get a life almost all corruption happens behind the scenes.
@@igson-in4rd Neither you nor I can judge that exactly...but this index is an approximate benchmark...and those who compile this index provide very precise information on how they arrive at these figures...instead of brushing this aside, you should take a closer look at it...'nuh-uh' is not a valid argument.
"But for Salvadorean people, Bukele is a hero" ...well I wonder why...
He destroy the thugs in his own country.This made him popular to lead the whole country.
Not only this country,South Korea also done this before and won.
Singapore other hand,their best leader made the biggest GDP country more than every major country.Because of Malaysia biggest mistakes,they kicked Singapore since they want to formed into west Malaysia.
If you're country goes from literally most dangerous country in world to one of most safest. It may as well be miracle. Bukele deserves all the praise
I'm willing to bet some sum of money that any outside critique has much less to do with ethics and "human rights violations" as it does with how taking decisive and effective action is shown to be possible for even an economically developing country. It is unfortunate that some people have had to face problems in the rectification of the country's problems, but it would be even more unfortunate for a leader to sit complacent with what the gangs continued to do. This approach has so far been proven effective. You don't defeat cruel and murderous gangs by playing to all the rules. And I bet the bulk of the criticism comes from the more economically strong countries who STILL struggle with gang violence and want to draw eyes away from the results to cover their own asses.
If you can't take the punishment, don't do the crime. Well done El Salvador.
His methods are brutal but it really took that much for the intentional community to actually care about El Salvador despite the years of gang violence prior.
They don't need the international community to care. They need to resolve their own problems and that is what they are doing. And all the international community is doing is criticizing them because that's not how they would do it. However, if they manage to become the safest country in the Americas the own international communities that are criticizing them would have a bigger crime problem than El Salvador has, so who would they be to judge? They are letting their own people die to criminals while El Salvador isn't. By all means El Salvador will have become the safer country.
@@ariescorner7655 That’s what I’m getting at. I find it funny that the international community only started to look give a damn about the country for once despite everything else that has happened.
@@CollegeBallYouknow same as teachers starting to notice only when the bullied kid fights back
@@CollegeBallYouknow yeah, they were perfectly content with those countries rotting. They are only interested in criticizing when they actually start to fight back and call them tyrants. The world is so upside down.
Same as South Korea.they done it in 70s to 80s
There is also small city country called Singapore,however they are in crisis of economic collapse and massive slums with undrinkable rivers.With a great leader they made it the popular to invest and safe country to live.
The rest of the world should learn from Bukele. This is how to solve the crime problem.
He recently invited all the members of Congress in a room and told them he is investigating everyone for corruption. He said he doesn't want to be surrounded by thieves. Dudes hardcore
@@angelcanez4426meanwhile Biden, what year are we in?
@@FaZe-StyL Well if you're lucky we'll replace our super old 81-year-old president with a young 79-year-old spring chicken.
@@FaZe-StyL were in year 4, soon to be followed by year 5 of Biden's presidency. Biden is seeing a steep decline in crime rates too.
@@angelcanez4426 well there’s really only 2 options I think I should be president honestly 🤭 but the democrats would hate me
I have 2 employees from Salvador and they love this guy Bukele. We need more leaders like him in Central America and also here in the US. Great video with lots of information.
Criminals demanding rights? 😂
What about the rights of people they violated!
"Nooooo you can't take away my mattress and my food! This is inhumane"
You're lucky to not be in the same room with the victims' family lol
How ironic😂😂😂😂
Wish we had this in Colombia ❤Nayib Bukele❤
The us too
Just came back from El Salvador almost a week ago and it was amazing, as well felt very safe everywhere even in "sketchy" looking neighborhoods but there is military everywhere. Would recommend people to visit 🇸🇻
I just went to El Salvador and road tripped the whole country.
Everywhere I went and spoke to locals, first thing they tell you is that they are grateful to have visitors and that Bukele is an angel sent by god (more than one person said those exact words).
Tbh I’m not exaggerating saying that El Salvador is safer than most american cities right now.
From a Mexican, much love and support to my salvadorian brothers and sisters 👏🏼
Gangs can't be treated with a soft hand. It's a hard concept for some people in the west to understand.
Some innocent people could’ve falsely accused/arrested under his regime, you know….😁
@@PungiFungi true but thats still better than what it was before
Bukele has done what no other president has ever done.We are grateful to have someone like him in charge, what ever they are doing to these inmates is nothing compared to all the pain they caused our country.
Courses for horses, leave Bukele alone, criminals want rights but no responsibilities. Hats off to this man.
Im not from El Salvador but i always remembered here in new york we had to be very worried about MS-13, now its not as bad. Im happy for citizens of El salvador they can live much better lives and not worry about crime affecting their lives. this is a W and countries dealing with huge crime should definitely do the same
I’m definitely visiting El Salvador
Your not welcome
You're more than welcome ✌️
Not yet.
@@javiervega1065Lmao what? Okay karen hahaha.
@javiervega1065 just a mad wannabe gangbanger that has to work a 9 to 5 now lmao
As Bukele has said, anyone who disagrees is free to take the gang members with themselves.
Finally a REAL leader.
El Salvadorian wanting to Go back to their country , its because bukele is doing a great job❤❤
He’s a man of God, the guy will do what it takes to free his people and give them security so everyone may live in peace with no crime. We actually need to praise this man and take notes from him. This guys the Man, may he keep going. Keep him in prayer
Never trust, never listen to Amnesty International, you're damned if you do !
if the amnesty cries about something it means you are doing something right. Now they cry about gangs, previously they cried the same about wellbeing of russian soldiers invading ukraine
@@micha3624 Exactly ! If AI is against you, you're doing something right.
The people of El Salvador seem to feel safer since the crackdown on gangs started.
Amnesty international is a MURDE.
Who cares about what the international community says about it, if it’s saving the lives of thousands of Salvadorians every year?
Long live Bukele!!
This sounds exactly like what's needed to restore order to the urban areas of the U.S., which are literally more dangerous than some war zones. Either that, or we accept "no go" areas and an outgrowth of crime. I wish Bukele would run for office here!
100%
You do know he can't right?
As a salvadoran national, this information is highly accurate and well put together.
Bukele is one of the greatest rulers on earth
Wooooow cracking down on criminals stops crime...... Mannnn that is crazy
Right? My mind is totally blown
Perhaps the international community wants to accept them in their country? Glad to ship them there 😂. Or you could stay out of internal affairs of other countries. Reason why Bukele has over 90% support. Unless you live in El Salvador.... mind your own bussiness.
You have to experience it in your own skin to understand what the people of El Salvador went through for 30 or 40 years, those who oppose Bukele's strategy should open their countries to these gang members if they are so concerned about their rights. Bukele's legacy will be remembered for many years to come.
Finally something that American can take example of
This would never happen in USA
America will want the neigbor countries to be the same corrupted as America
@@rome2989 because it's already normalized as a normal part of American life.
El Salvador is a new country, thanks to president Bukele. Much, much better now.
Cant we have him here in South Africa. Most of our gang members serve in the govt.
Bukele for all intents and purposes is a HERO having converted El Salvador from one of the world's worst battlegrounds into a thriving and prospering society. For that the Salvadorian people owe him a debt of gratitude thank you very much and enjoy your afternoon 😊😊
I'm half-El Salvadorean from my father and when I mentioned this to my father, he was ecstatic and approved of how safe his home country was because of these crackdowns. The international community can yap all they want, but very few of those arguing about the measures taken have done anything to help. They only care the moment anything they deem un-democratic and authoritarian happens.
Countries don't have to be democratic to be a good place to live. Not all governments need to have the same exact ideals. So long as the law-abiding citizens are safe, happy, and respected by their governments then nothing else matters. As long as a government isn't going off and attacking and bully other nations without very just cause, it doesn't matter. Let others live and govern themselves the way they want. It's not your business until you're attacked or screwed with negatively.
Just be sure the leadership does not fall into the lure of corruption and you're fine.
Agreed america is a hypocrite too because we in America have over 1000 different gangs. And our stupid government wont deal with them. But will target law abiding citizens for protesting at the capital
Bukele has stop the killings in El Salvador. Mean wile the USA is suffering the pain of crimes every single day. And drug problems. Plus the dollar is loosing value. Case closed
You 100% right
Dollar is gaining value wdym
@@hamontheram oh nah 😂
Drastic situations require drastic measures.
Any leader who makes their country safe and liveable for the people deserves praise.
Anyone who's complaining about human rights, let your children grow up in the old El Salvador and see how you feel. Also, present a better alternative that actually works.
NGOs: this is inhumane!
Bukele: you can have them then.
*crickets*
Mexico should take notes.
I dont think those notes will work against cartels
@ugood4307 the notes don't work because the Cia helps them
Not only does the cartel receive weapons from the US, they also receive training from ex special forces from around South and Northern American countries.
Mexico is also way larger, with many more people.
The weaponry and technology some of these cartels have rival developed countries.
It's going to be tough for Mexico.
Thanks to him, i was able to visit family members i had never met before😢
Imagine living in a world where you can turn your country from the most dangerous to nearly the safest seemingly overnight, and international organizations object instead of giving you a medal.
Defending your country isn't just a right, it's an obligation. Send all the gang members to the UN headquarters since they know exactly what to do with them.
Read about what Britain and NGOs did to Rhodesia. They don't have people's best interests at heart
Buckele has done a great service to his people. To sacrifice a very bit of freedom in return for a stable country is what other latin American countries should follow.
IEl Salvador is the only country with a gang problem in Latin America
I cant helped but be impressed with the level of initiative and success of the government. Regardless of the cost to civil liberties
What makes this even more beautiful is that, if you're thinking about committing a crime, you have to think about bigger consequences, do you really want to be in prison with 100k people around you!!?
The fact that many abroad Salvadorian wants to go back to El Salvador showed how successful the government returning order and peace.
Finally someone who is doing something for his ppl. If anyone of the outside world has an issue with it. They should provide their own resources to eliminate the gang threats.
God-bless Bukele!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I dont live in El Salvador but if I was a citizen I would rather live under dictatorship and live in security and safety than the past El Salvador and live in fear and in constant danger.
You have to have lived in El Salvador before Bukele to have the balls to criticize him. He won 85%.in a fair vote. That doesn't happen with countries that have fair votes, but it happened in El Salvador because El Salvador had a hero who saved peoples sons and daughters.
Both of my brothers were killed by gangs because they refused to join. They were murdered as they were leaving town to work on a freighter out at sea. They wanted to get a way from the violence, but it found them anyway.
How is USA lecturing El Salvador when USA is world’s top incarcerator of its citizens
Or, perhaps, when you are being criticized by the US you know you've gone pretty far? Honestly, I think Bukele is doing just fine. You can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs, and he is cooking.
I can't really blame the people living there for wanting some peace and safety in their lives. It does seem a bit dangerous giving up rights like that but I think a lot of us can't truly understand how it must be to live our lives in fear everyday. I wish all those people the best.
I don't mean to say that these measures are needed everywhere in the world, but it is a good example of how constitutional rights mean so little to people who lead lives otherwise filled with fear and a lack of peace in general
El Salvador shouldn’t care much about what other countries think, and I’m glad Bukele doesn’t. It’s always easy to criticize from outside. Every country has problems. The best people to fix it are their own citizens. If Bukele gets drunk on power though, the people should be quick to take their power back. Or else they’ll suffer all over again.
Went to El Salvador to visit family I’m glad for what bukele did so that my grandparents, cousins, and aunts are safe
El salvador is now great country to live in thanks to president bukele,
Is said that 60% of it people living outside el salvador are wanting to return back to el salvador and foreigners as well moving to the country as it is safe place and the economy starting to grow as there is no more gangs.
I wish I could vote for Bukele.
Finally someone took the time to understand why we the Salvadorean are doing this
The results speak for themselves
Bukele should be in power forever.
no
yes
yes
Let's not get crazy
Yes
Bravo El-Salvador !
His the man, but the scariest thing is that if his not running the country anymore, the country is going to the old ways.
Let's hope not, the people will rise in protest.
And maybe he is violating some civil rights, but as long as his people support him, and he isn't threatening any other countries, then what right does any non-Salvadorian have to criticize?
Bukele`s has hero and saviour.
I love Bukele
It's my impression that international NGO's seem to defend and protect criminal behavior and organizations in a roundabout way. These NGO's policies don't seem to benefit the citizens of the countries that they try to influence.
Most NGOs are leftist and to a leftist society is responsible for crime and not the criminal himself. To the far left criminals are heroes because they subvert the order.
Because they don't want to see progress in other countries.
BRAVOOOOOO NAYIB BUKELE 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏YOU ARE A HERO OF THE SALVADORIAN PEOPLE!!!
I lived in El Salvador in the late 80's and early 90's at the age 18 the first time I went down there to help my dad rebuild shrimp boats. I loved it and even took my wife 10 years later and she loved there as well. I'd love to try to find a friend I made down there but lost his info. But as far as what he's done some times you do what you have to do
A 100% proven results Bukeles government has brought peace which will lead to prosperity !
Hopefully many countries should emulate this model administration !
God Bless Bukele!!!!
Smart move El Salvador!
Alleged 80 deaths in prison vs 2000 murder a year
Sometimes, a country needs what I call a " benign dictator " to restore it to sanity. The leader has to control everything and everybody until such time as the country stabilizes. He is benign because he is dictating for the good of the country. Time will tell if he will remain true to the ideals with which he started. In the interim he needs to be supported by all.
America: Creates a gang problem and sends them to El Salvador without a solution.
El Salvador: Fixes Gang Problem
America: hey you can’t do that :(
Human rights are a luxury for wealthy nations. If poor countries had the same standards, they couldnt put anyone in prison for lack of evidence.
If every,,dictator,, was like Bukele world would be wonderful place. Thank you sir. Look after yohr country and your people.
Great man doing great things for his people
The analogy of denazification is very astute.
Bukele sounds like a benevolent dictator, which is the most efficient form of government. The tricky part is keeping him benevolent, and removing the dictatorial powers when he leaves office.
I say president for life.
I wish every European leader was like Bukele.
All decent and loving educated people love what Bukele is doing only ex corrupted politicians dislike him. 🇸🇻❤️🙋🏻♀️
Great Show.
EL ES UN LIDER DE VERDAD ,QUIERAS O NO👊
1/2 of all El Salvadorians live in the US. Helps explain why MS-13 was so prevalent here for a while. Glad they are cleaning things up down there, helps up here. I just hope Bukele doesnt cut more rights and holds onto power, slippery slope with strong men.
is not a half, we are 6M here on the country and the stimates are 2.5 M around all the world. Is not the half, but is a big number
That president is a man that truly loves his country.
We took a family trip lately and got to enjoy it's true beauty!!!
He is the best leader of the 21st century.
We need leaders like him all around Western countries. Screw democracy is simply not working anymore
Exactly. Democracy is the problem. It’s government by idiots voting for idiots.
If Amnesty International wants to pay for the policing and detection of the gangs then fine but they will have to pay compensation to the families of the people killed PUT UP or SHUT UP
I wish America had a leader like him, I want our country to be feared, not mocked
The man really is a hero, we could learn alot from his example. People in major cities of the US openly steal from stores without even attempting to conceal what they're doing and shoot up drugs next to school bus routes. We've let our compassion blind ourselves to reason
So this a promo video for Bukele? Sounds about right. Who cares of the living conditions of gang members. If they want to tat themselves with their gang symbols, it just makes it easier for police to identify
Mexico should be ashamed of themselves
Dude, this President just united all of El Salvador under one banner. It is now an official country.
Much , respect for you Mr President 👏🏽
Bro's literally the GOD EMPEROR OF EL SALVADOR
That’s the way to beat gangs, I remember in Singapore early years we had gangs issue and section 55 was implemented and the gangs disappeared gradually.
