EL SALVADOR : One Day Without Murders...Exposes Mafia Truce.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/may/01/el-salvador-murders-gang-truce


      On 14 April...nobody was killed in El Salvador.
      It was so remarkable...that it led the news reports...because it hadn't happened for years.
      All because the 2 major gangs/pandillas...made a truce...that has cut down on a normal 15 murders daily.
      But some denounce the relative calm...as a 'mafia peace'...that the government can't provide...and that gives the gangs too much power.
       Others say violence continues...but is hidden...as people keep disappearing.
