If there was a ranking of rotten countries in the world, El Salvador, with a land area of 21,000 square kilometers and a population of only 6.3 million, would definitely be on the list!
In fact, Central American countries like Honduras, Guatemala, Belize, which are located on the drug trafficking routes from South America to North America, are all pretty rotten!
But El Salvador stands out among these countries for its exceptional level of rottenness, beyond Mountain Eagle's comprehension.
The rampant gang violence in this rotten country reaches a level that Mountain Eagle cannot understand...
According to El Salvador's own statistics, nearly 3,000 people died due to homicide nationwide in 2014.
This number of deaths is even higher than the number of people who died in Iraq due to warfare during the same period!
And this is still from reported cases; the number of unreported deaths from gang vendettas or murders might be several times more.
