Increasing insecurity in El Salvador

Over the last two or three months, I have been involved in a few discussions about how likely it is for Salvadorans to be forced to flee from their homes (freedom to choose where to live for Freedom House) and whether or not relocating within the country is possible (asylum claims). It's a lot and very difficult - 'Gangs Displace Dozens of Families in El Salvador'.

The Gang Informant El Salvador Failed to Protect: police informants cannot disappear for long before they are disappeared.

¿Quién protege cuando la policía es atacada? Seven police killed and two soldiers kidnapped so far this year. The police can't protect the civilian population and they can't protect police informants. Who is going to protect them?

Electioneering Undermines Fight Against Crime in El Salvador: elections occurring too frequently - I am on board. FMLN not negotiating with the gangs before of the upcoming election? Not so sure about that one.

Oscar Romero is a Martyr: What’s it to you?  This is to end on a positive note.
