¡FUERA BUKELE DE HAITÍ!

We at ALBA Movimientos and the International Assembly of the Peoples reject any attempt at interference in Haiti.

Through a press release and a story staged for the media on October 25, Nayib Bukele, with the complicity of the U.S. government, announced the deployment of 2,000 Salvadoran soldiers to Haiti. This constitutes a violation of the Haitian people’s right to self-determination, their sovereignty, and their ability to create the conditions necessary to move toward an electoral process, amid the spread of gangs, particularly in Port-au-Prince. Under the false pretext of “saving Haitians from the gangs,” Bukele, in coordination with Marco Rubio, launched an illegal occupation operation on the island.

It all began on Sunday, October 18, with the alleged kidnapping—by a gang in the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area—of four Salvadorans who were members of the Gang Suppression Force (GSF), the international mission that has been operating in Haiti since 2025 under the auspices of the United Nations. Faced with the ineffectiveness of the rescue operations, Nayib Bukele took the initiative to send reinforcements to the GSF troops in an attempt to recover his compatriots.

It was only one week later, on Wednesday, October 28, that the two governments established an official dialogue, which provided some answers to the many questions raised by the situation. In a statement to the press, the Haitian prime minister revealed that he had spoken by phone with the Salvadoran president in order to “strengthen bilateral coordination and operational cooperation within the framework of the RFA, especially to support search operations and address security challenges.”

According to organizations that are part of the Haitian chapter of ALBA Movimientos, the confusion surrounding this announcement is total and bears a strong resemblance to a media stunt designed to promote Bukele’s image at the regional level. We must not lose sight of the fact that his government is one of Trump’s preferred allies and plays an active role in the construction of the so-called Shield of the Americas. He has also been a key player in the U.S. policy of outsourcing the reception of migrants deported from that country and detaining them in Salvadoran prisons. His participation in this process of criminalizing migrants is part of a central political strategy of the far right.

How is it possible that Bukele can send troops to Haiti from one day to the next, without any qualms whatsoever and without having precise information about the names, whereabouts, and origins of the alleged kidnapping?

We have already witnessed this scenario with MINUSTAH and the advance of Kenyan troops. We at ALBA Movimientos denounce a media campaign that seeks to justify a new military intervention and continue subjecting the Haitian people to foreign interference under the false pretext of guaranteeing their security.

There is no Security Council resolution authorizing this deployment, no endorsement from the OAS, no withdrawal date, and no known cost. Washington did not send troops; it sent a C-130 aircraft from the Southern Command, Trump’s public endorsement, and Marco Rubio himself, who publicly stated: “We have been involved in providing support.”

Haiti does not need occupation troops; it needs sovereignty, self-determination, and internationalist solidarity!

Bukele out of Haiti!

The Haitian people build, and imperialism destroys!
