But as fighting between the two criminal groups has been on the rise in recent months, so has the death toll. Fears are starting to grow of a renewed gang war in one of Latin Americas most dangerous countries. Majucla is one of the poorest and also one of the most violent communities in El Salvador. Located just north of the capital, San Salvador, Majucla is controlled by the infamous gang known as Mara Salvatrucha, or MS13. Shootings are frequent in the dirt road neighborhood, and no one is safe. The owner of a local bus line, Rigoberto Hernandez, said businesses have to pay to be spared. Its very dangerous because we have to work from 4:00 AM, and if somebody doesnt like you, they can kill you at that time. As we say here, you have to pay to survive, said Hernandez. During the mid-1990s, fighting between Mara Salvatrucha and the rival Barrio 18 gang often killed up to 16 people a day. Between 2003 and 2009, hardline governments filled El Salvadors prisons with gang members without any impact on violent crime. Then, in March 2012, a left-wing government secretly negotiated a peace deal between the two groups, and the citys murder rate was almost cut in half. |
