President Nayib Bukele took power in 2019 and has enjoyed the backing of a friendly legislature and supreme court that has granted him extraordinary executive powers to combat paramilitary-like street gangs.

Since 2022 , the country has been under a state of emergency, during which time 83,000 arrests were made, and national policing forces took the fight to the gangs.

In 2015 , El Salvador witnessed 6,656 homicides, placing it among war zones as one of the most dangerous countries on the planet.
