The platform’s users flagged the house of criminal warlord Wilson Joseph for destruction by Nayib Buklele’s forces
Salvadoran forces have destroyed the alleged headquarters of Haiti’s largest criminal gang, after a social media user shared its location with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele. He has vowed to eradicate the gangs if they refuse to return four hostages.
In a post on Friday, a Haitian X user shared a picture of a palatial compound, which she alleged that the notorious ‘400 Mawozo’ (‘400 Simpletons’) gang had built on the eastern outskirts of Port-au-Prince. Led by Wilson ‘Lanmo San Jou’ Joseph, 400 Mawozo is the largest of Haiti’s criminal gangs.
“Give us the exact address, and we’ll destroy it,” Bukele responded in Haitian Creole. Multiple users shared GPS coordinates with Bukele, but the original post was deleted over the weekend.
However, Bukele kept his word. A fleet of Salvadoran light attack helicopters blitzed the compound, firing rockets and partially destroying its main structure and outbuildings as its occupants fled the scene. Bukele posted a video of the attack on X on Tuesday, calling the gang members “cowards” for running away “without even trying to fight.”
“Some guy on X called in a killstreak on a gang’s HQ and Bukele went through with it. Insane timeline,” one X user responded, summing up the online reaction to the strike.
Haitian police and private security contractors stormed the compound after the rocket barrage, the Miami Herald reported.
