Bukele: Posts a message in Haitian Creole comparing those who back the gangs with Dessalines' traitors and promising to help Haiti
Original post (full text, in its original language)
Pèp ayisyen, Dessalines te libere Ayiti, men kèk moun ki te bò kote l te trayi l epi touye l. Moun ki te sanble avè l, ki te pale menm lang avè l, men ki pa t gen menm prensip avè l. Se te trèt ki t ap chèche sèlman avantaj pèsonèl yo, e ki te plonje Ayiti nan plizyè jenerasyon soufrans ak mizè. Trèt sa yo toujou egziste ann Ayiti. Yo pa eritye Dessalines, yo se eritye trèt ki te asasinen l yo e ki te detwi eritaj li. Genyen ki manm gang, gen lòt ki finanse gang yo oswa ki ba yo zam, e gen kèk ladan yo k ap fè tout sa yo kapab pou anpeche pèp ayisyen an jwenn libète li. Wi, anpil etranje te piye Ayiti, men anpil Ayisyen te fè menm bagay la tou. Yo te kolabore ak etranje sa yo, sèvi ak zam yo, vann dwòg yo, kontwole teritwa pou yo, epi fè pèp la sibi soufrans moun pa menm ka imajine. Èske nou panse etranje sa yo t ap kapab fè tout bagay sa yo san èd moun sa yo? Kiyès k ap lonje zam sou nou? Kiyès k ap touye moun nou renmen yo? Kiyès ki vòlè kay nou ak byen nou yo, si se pa menm kalite bandi trèt ak sa yo ki te trayi epi asasinen Dessalines? Nou kapab ede nou bat yo, men nou pa anvayisè. Nou se moun ki gen kouraj menm jan ak nou. Fòk nou leve kanpe, reprann kontwòl kominote nou yo, epi mete moun k ap fè nou sibi tout doulè sa yo, tout soufrans sa yo, anba kontwòl nou. N ap la menm bò kote nou. N ap ede nou reprann peyi nou anba men trèt ki trayi eritaj Dessalines yo. Epi, finalman, Ayiti ap lib.— Nayib Bukele (@nayibbukele) · Nov 3, 2026 · 19:36 (El Salvador time)View original on X ↗

Bukele sends a message in Creole to the Haitian people: "Haiti will be free"
President Nayib Bukele posted a message in Haitian Creole on X addressed to the people of Haiti. In it he recalled Jean-Jacques Dessalines, leader of Haiti's independence, and compared those who betrayed him with those who today are gang members, finance gangs or give them weapons. Bukele said El Salvador can help Haitians defeat them, but that it is not an invader. According to the Presidential Press Secretariat, he said: "We are on the same side as you. We will help you take back the country from the hands of the traitors who betray Dessalines' legacy. And, finally, Haiti will be free" (our translation). Diario La Página and elsalvador.com published the message.
Bukele says Salvadoran helicopters repelled a gang attack on Chadian soldiers in Haiti
President Nayib Bukele said on X on Tuesday night that Salvadoran forces deployed in Haiti came to the aid of Chadian soldiers from the Gang Suppression Force (GSF) who were under attack by gangs, and that they repelled the attackers with attack helicopters. "The gangs no longer have the upper hand," he wrote. Diario La Página and Infobae reported the announcement. According to La Página, a helicopter patrolled over the commune of Croix-des-Bouquets at 6:16 p.m., where gunfire was heard. El Salvador has more than 2,000 soldiers in Haiti searching for four Salvadoran aviation technicians missing since October 18.
The UN says most of the additional Salvadoran troops in Haiti are not part of the GSF
Stéphane Dujarric, spokesman for the UN Secretary-General, said that "the vast majority of these personnel are not deployed under the Gang Suppression Force (GSF) and therefore fall outside the scope and reporting of the United Nations Support Office" (our translation), as reported by elsalvador.com. The UN did not say how many Salvadoran soldiers belong to each group. The spokesman repeated that all security operations in Haiti, inside or outside the GSF, must comply with international law. Diario Co Latino also reported the clarification, in a piece critical of the Salvadoran deployment.
