El Salvador: upsurge of violence and offensive by the Government against the gangs (DIEEEI03-2016)

Given the upsurge in violence that gangs have caused in 2016, the Salvadoran government has launched a series of emergency measures , including the incommunication of gang jailed leader, to avoid giving orders abroad.

The question is how long will last this unilateral truce and what the consequences will be in the medium term.
