Gangs in El Salvador



Gangs in these days are a difficult problem because they are too much and imposible to stop all of them.


Gangs like Mara Salvatrucha started in USA in L.A by salvadoran inmmigrants. At the beginning the members of it  had the purpose of defend other salvadoran inmmigrants from others gangs.

But as the time was passing they started drug trafficking,robbery,extortion people and small business,money laundering,kinapping.murder,etc.


They are reconized by tattos covering theirs bodies and sometime the face, using their own sign language






Nowadays they are expanded all over North America and Central America and every day they increase their number of members.


El Salvador is a really small country that is maybe one of the most dangerous contries dominated by the gangs every day people are facing a horrible horror because then don`t know if to leave home they are gonna be killed.


     




Police is dealing with them trying to stop them because they are attacking more frecuently and even with more violence that characterizes 




   


We the salvadoran people have to help each other and try to be better persons every day. Also try to educate better the kids because many of them join to this gangs groups because in their houses they have problems like economic ones, or so many others types of problems.


We have to be aware that this is going to end when all of us gather and do things correctly and always trying to be better people.
