Many in El Salvador remain skeptical that the truce will stick, noting that young men in poor neighborhoods lack alternatives and there is noeasy way to lure them off the streets.They had faced off many times before, on the streets, with guns in their hands. But when top leaders of two of the hemispheres most violent street gangs sat across from one another in the stifling63air of a maximum security prison, the encounter had a very different aim: peace. With a military chaplain and a former lawmaker officiating, the imprisoned gang leaders held a moment of silencefor the thousands of people their street armies had killed. After a few more meetings and the governments concession to transfer 30 of the leaders to less-restrictive conditions they shookhands on a pact to put an end to the killings. The truce endures in El Salvador, long one of the most violent countries in the Americas. With 30,000 to 50,000 members and weaponry that includesFebruary 16, 2013assault-style rifles and grenades, the two gangs are virtual armies that have the power to affect the security of the entire region and they have used it to terrorize populations still weary fromyears of civil war and instability.
