In a revealing interview, Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele credited divine intervention and the power of prayer for his administration’s unprecedented success in dismantling violent gangs. Once known as the “murder capital of the world,” El Salvador has undergone a radical transformation, now ranking as one of the safest countries in the Western Hemisphere.
Bukele described the conflict as a “spiritual war” rather than a mere law enforcement operation. He detailed the chilling evolution of the notorious MS-13 gang, labeling it a “satanic organization.” According to the President, as the gang grew, it transitioned from criminal activity to occult rituals. He cited documented accounts from former members regarding demonic worship and alleged child sacrifices.
“There was a spiritual war and a physical war,” Bukele stated. He emphasized that as the gangs leaned into darkness, his government leaned into faith. He revealed that his administration sought wisdom through prayer before launching their major campaigns.
Following a surge in violence in 2022, Bukele implemented an aggressive nationwide crackdown under a “state of exception.” This move led to nearly 80,000 arrests and a historic, dramatic drop in the national homicide rate. While international observers have debated his methods, Bukele remains firm that the outcome is nothing short of a “miracle.”
“We won because we prayed,” Bukele told the interviewer, asserting that strategy and force alone could not have achieved such a rapid and total victory over entrenched evil. His message centers on the idea that when a nation calls upon God, even the most deep-seated darkness can be cast out.
