GANG TRUCE. Murders have been cut in half in El Salvador, one of the countries with the highest murder rates in the world, after members of rivaling gangs called for a truce in March. Incarcerated gang leaders from the Mara Salvatrucha and 18th Street gangs called a truce, brokered by a former guerilla commander and a Catholic bishop. Long-time organizers for peace in the streets of Los Angeles have announced widespread support for the truce and plan to share strategies to stop the violence. What does the truce agreement include? What assurances are there that this will be a lasting peace?
