🚨🇭🇹 400 MAWOZO GANG LEADER CALLS FOR UN PEACE TALKS AFTER DISPLAYING GUNS AND AMMUNITION

Wilson Joseph, known as “Lanmò San Jou,” leader of Haiti’s notorious 400 Mawozo gang, is calling for international mediation amid rising tensions involving El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele.

🎥 In a video shared before the letter, the gang leader displays firearms and ammunition, demonstrating his group’s access to weapons. Now, in a letter dated November 1, 2026, addressed to UN Secretary-General António Guterres, he is requesting peace negotiations.

Joseph claims he raised a white flag on August 20, signaling his willingness to pursue dialogue with international forces operating in Haiti.

🇸🇻 The letter also criticizes President Bukele, warning that escalating tensions could lead to further violence against Haitian civilians. Joseph alleges that women and children have been caught in the violence, including an eight-year-old girl reportedly shot in the head. These allegations remain independently unverified.

He is requesting that the United Nations send a delegation to Haiti to facilitate negotiations. There is no confirmed agreement by the UN to participate.

💬 THE BIG QUESTION: Can Haiti achieve peace through negotiations with armed gang leaders, or should justice and accountability come first?

🚨🇭🇹 HARVEY DUPITON, FOUNDER OF UNA-HAITI, ACCUSES SALVADORAN TROOPS OF BOMBING HAITIAN CIVILIANS AND CHILDREN — PRESIDENT BUKELE DENIES CLAIMS!

Harvey Dupiton, founder of the United Nations Association–Haiti (UNA-Haiti), a Haitian diaspora advocacy organization that is not officially part of the United Nations, has sent an alarming letter to UN Secretary-General António Guterres accusing Salvadoran military forces of bombing civilian communities in Haiti.

📌 WHAT IS HARVEY DUPITON ALLEGING?

In his October 28 letter, Dupiton, a native of Croix-des-Bouquets, alleged that Salvadoran forces had been conducting aerial bombardments, helicopter gunship attacks, and heavy-weapons operations since October 22 in Croix-des-Bouquets, Canaan, and surrounding neighborhoods.

💔 “Children are being killed not by gangs, but by foreign bombs,” the letter states.

Dupiton also claimed that families were hiding under their beds out of fear of the reported attacks.

Through UNA-Haiti, he is calling for an immediate halt to the alleged operations, an independent UN investigation into civilian deaths, and Security Council intervention.

🇸🇻 PRESIDENT NAYIB BUKELE FIRES BACK!

El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele strongly rejected the accusations, responding:

“Bombs? Our mission doesn’t even have bombs at its disposal.”

Bukele stated that Salvadoran attack helicopters only arrived in Haiti on October 29, one day after Dupiton’s letter, and claimed they had not conducted a single mission.

He also accused certain NGOs of spreading false information and serving the interests of criminal organizations.

⚠️ WHY ARE SALVADORAN FORCES IN HAITI?

The dispute comes amid an expanded Salvadoran military deployment connected to international anti-gang operations and reports that four Salvadoran technicians were kidnapped by gangs in October.

🇭🇹 THE QUESTION NOW: Should the United Nations independently investigate Harvey Dupiton’s allegations, despite President Bukele’s denial?

👇🏾 What are your thoughts?

🚨🇭🇹 TRUMP TELLS BUKELE TO DO WHAT HE HAS TO DO FOLLOWING CONVERSATION ABOUT HAITI!

President Donald Trump revealed during a Halloween gathering at Mar-a-Lago that he spoke with El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele about Haiti.

🗣️ “He said that he has a big problem with Haiti… They killed some of his people,” Trump stated.

Trump then revealed his response: “You’re running your country. You have to do what you have to do.”

🇸🇻 President Bukele later responded publicly on X, writing: “Can confirm.”

⚠️ These remarks come amid reports of Salvadoran military involvement in Haiti and questions surrounding Bukele’s plans for his forces.

While Trump did not publicly specify what actions he was referring to, his comments are raising questions about the future of El Salvador’s involvement in Haiti.

🇭🇹 Is Trump giving Bukele the green light to take matters into his own hands in Haiti?

💔🕊️ A TRAGEDY THAT HITS HOME FOR SO MANY IMMIGRANT FAMILIES.

This story has touched the immigrant and diaspora communities to the core. 💔

15-year-old Javits Frimpong moved from Ghana to New York to join his father and pursue a brighter future. Just ONE YEAR AND ONE DAY after arriving in America, his life was tragically cut short when he was fatally shot in the Bronx on Thursday morning, October 29, while on his way to school.

💔 His father, Thomas Frimpong, believes bullying may have played a role in his son’s killing.

Just THREE DAYS before the shooting, his father says the school principal called to inform him that two students had been bullying Javits and were suspended for a week.

“The principal told me Javits is innocent. Javits is innocent. He was defending himself,” his father recalled.

For so many of us who grew up as immigrant children in America, THIS STORY IS TRIGGERING.

We remember being teased for our accents, our African or Caribbean backgrounds, our names, our clothes, or simply because we were different. Many of us experienced that cruelty firsthand.

Our parents brought us here believing America would offer us opportunities they never had. No parent should have to bury their child after making that sacrifice.

Being an immigrant child should never make you a target. Being different should never put your life in danger.

Javits was only 15. His father described him as quiet, intelligent, and precious. He deserved a future. 💔

We are praying for his family and demanding answers and justice. 🕊️❤️

🗳️ DIASPORA POLL: DID YOU EXPERIENCE BULLYING IN SCHOOL BECAUSE OF YOUR ACCENT, NATIONALITY, OR IMMIGRANT BACKGROUND?

🚨🇭🇹🇸🇻 BUKELE ADDRESSES HAITIANS DIRECTLY: “THIS IS NOT AN INVASION!”

Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele has issued a powerful message in Haitian Creole, addressing concerns over his country’s massive military deployment to Haiti.

Bukele says Salvadoran troops and equipment are nearly fully deployed, insisting his mission is not to invade Haiti, dominate its people, or take control of its wealth.

🚨 HIS KEY POINTS:

🇸🇻 The Mission: Rescue four missing Salvadoran aviation technicians and confront armed gangs terrorizing Haitian communities.

💰 The Cost: El Salvador is covering 90% of the operation’s expenses, with limited logistical support from other countries.

🤝 Solidarity: Bukele compared Haiti’s current suffering to El Salvador’s violent past, saying his country understands what it means to live in fear.

🙏 Faith: He urged Haitians to trust his mission and pray for Haiti’s healing, referencing 2 Chronicles 7:14.

🇭🇹 His Promise: Salvadoran troops will return home once the mission is completed.

“Help us help Haiti.” — President Nayib Bukele

Despite his assurances, questions remain about military oversight and who will command the troops.

📲 SWIPE TO READ HIS FULL MESSAGE TO HAITIANS.

🗣️ HAITIANS, DO YOU TRUST BUKELE’S INTENTIONS? Is this the help Haiti needs?
