“San Salvador has become one of the most violent cities in the world,” reports Daniel Castro in article for Harper’s Magazine entitled “The Truce: How the United States helped spoil a plan to end gang violence in El Salvador." His article continues, "despite the new malls, craft breweries, and recently renovated public spaces, the capital is a city of locked metal gates and private security guards toting shotguns on street corners.” In this installment of “Leonard Lopate at Large” on WBAI, Daniel Castro explains how the US government helped to spoil a peacemaking attempt between two of El Salvador’s most dangerous gangs.
