400 Mawozo Leader Seeks UN Dialogue in Unverified Letter
2 min Machine translated About Haiti War & conflict
Ten days ago, this man was showing bullets in a video and saying he was going to wait for Bukele. Today, he’s asking the UN for peace.
His name is Wilson Joseph, alias Lan Mo Sanjou.
He leads 400 Mawozo, one of Haiti’s nine largest gangs, and controls Croix- des- Bouquets, right where the four Salvadoran soldiers were ambushed.
And he’s no ordinary gang member. The United States is offering up to one million dollars for him. He’s accused of kidnapping seventeen missionaries in 2021. He held them for sixty- one days, and the UN has him under sanctions since 2023.
When the Salvadorans arrived, he and another gang leader issued a warning.
If the soldiers came in on foot, not with drones and helicopters, they would meet resistance. On October 23, he posted a video with ammunition. He said he wouldn’t flee Haiti.
Bukele replied to him: “God will grant us victory.
The creator of the universe is with us.”
But this Sunday, November 1, a letter appeared in his name addressed to the UN secretary-general.
It asks the UN to send a delegation to Haiti to open a dialogue with the forces international. It says he had wanted a peaceful way out since August.
He says Haiti needs dialogue, justice and reconciliation, not more loss of human life.
And he blames Bukele's threats for the possibility that the violence could escalate.
Note, the UN has not confirmed that the letter is authentic, and the letter doesn't say whether they have the four.
Meanwhile, the pressure isn't letting up.
On Thursday, the Haitian police reported around twenty gang members killed in Arcahaie, northwest of the capital.
Doctors Without Borders reports drone explosions in the northeast of Port- au- Prince Príncipe. And Trump started s— talking again.
He said Bukele doesn’t need help. Bukele already has more than two thousand soldiers in Haiti, according to AFP. That’s at least ten percent of his entire army.
Today, November second, marks fifteen days without proof of life and without anyone confirming where they are.
So, is the one who promised to fight now afraid or does he just want to buy time?
Will Bukele agree to talk or will he force his way in?
Follow me for part six.

Original transcript (Spanish)
Hace diez días, este hombre enseñaba balas en un video y decía que iba a esperar a Bukele. Hoy le pide paz a la ONU.
Se llama Wilson Joseph, alias Lan Mo Sanjou.
Es el líder de 400 Mawozo, una de las nueve bandas más grandes de Haití, y domina Croix-des-Bouquets, justo donde emboscaron a los cuatro soldados salvadoreños.
Y no es cualquier pandillero. Estados Unidos ofrece hasta un millón de dólares por él. Lo acusan del secuestro de diecisiete misioneros en 2021. Los tuvo sesenta y un días y la ONU lo tiene sancionado desde 2023.
Cuando llegaron los salvadoreños, él y otro jefe pandillero lanzaron una advertencia.
Si los soldados entraban a pie y no con drones y helicópteros, iban a encontrar resistencia. El 23 de octubre subió un video con municiones. Dijo que no iba a huir de Haití.
Bukele le respondió: "Dios nos concederá la victoria.
El creador del universo está con nosotros".
Pero este domingo, 1 de noviembre, apareció una carta a su nombre dirigida al secretario general de la ONU.
Pide que la ONU mande una delegación a Haití para abrir un diálogo con las fuerzas internacionales. Asegura que desde agosto quería una salida pacífica. Dice que Haití necesita diálogo, justicia y reconciliación, y no nuevas pérdidas humanas.
Y culpa a las amenazas de Bukele de que la violencia pueda crecer.
Ojo, la ONU no ha confirmado que la carta sea auténtica y la carta no dice si ellos tienen a los cuatro.
Mientras tanto, la presión no para. El jueves, la policía haitiana reportó unos veinte pandilleros muertos en Arcahaie, al noroeste de la capital.
Médicos Sin Fronteras reporta explosiones de drones en el noreste de Puerto Príncipe. Y Trump volvió s-- a hablar.
Dijo que Bukele no necesita ayuda. Bukele ya tiene en Haití a más de dos mil soldados, según AFP. Eso es al menos el 10 % de todo su ejército.
Hoy, 2 de noviembre, se cumplen quince días sin pruebas de vida y sin que nadie confirme dónde están.
Entonces, ¿el que prometía pelear ahora tiene miedo o solo quiere ganar tiempo? ¿Bukele va a aceptar hablar o va a entrar por las malas? Sígueme para la parte seis.
