Honduran gangs Salvatrucha and 18 Street announce truce

Honduras has one of the highest murder rates in the world but the recent ceasefire is the first step towards an agreement. The two most violent and notorious gangs in Honduras, Mara Salvatrucha and Mara 18 Street, said they would commit zero crime and zero violence on the streets. Although nothing has been signed, this is the first step towards a more lasting agreement. They want society and authorities to forgive them for the damage they have done but also want the government to listen since they need their help to earn an honest living and to be reintegrated into society.
