It seems like the type of thing something like NATO or the UN is actually made for to send a force in and put down the gangs and give the government back to the people. But it comes all sorts of shades of past mistakes and colonial issues that its debatable whether or not that is the right thing to do (also would obviously cause bloodshed while a war happens).

Im genuinely curious about what people think about a solution to stuff like this. Is it just to wait and see hopefully the people eventually gain enough power to revolt and free themselves from gang rule? Is that even plausible without foreign assistance? Does the stank of Cold War US foreign intervention in Central/South America stain any hope at a welcomed or untainted intervention? Has there been any call from the people there for the world to bring an army, or is just send funds?

It is so tough.

This isn't NATO's job or role.

The UN has a long list of failures....

It honestly feels like a hard reset is needed on this country.

It is a sad situation.
