37-year-old former mayor wins El Salvador's presidential election on anti-corruption ticket

Posted: 04 Feb 2019 12:15 AM PST

37-year-old former mayor wins El Salvador's presidential election on anti-corruption ticketA former mayor campaigning on an anti-corruption ticket swept to victory in El Salvador's presidential election on Sunday, bringing an end to a two-party system that has held sway over the violence-plagued Central American country for three decades. Nayib Bukele, the 37-year-old former mayor of the capital, San Salvador, won 54 percent of votes with returns counted from 88 percent of polling stations, said Julio Olivo, the head of the electoral tribunal. Mr Bukele's two rivals from mainstream political parties conceded defeat. Definitive results would be announced within two days, Olivo said. Mr Bukele must now contend with U.S. President Donald Trump's frequent threats to cut aid to El Salvador - as well as neighboring Guatemala and Honduras - if they do not do more to curb migration to the United States. "Today, we won in the first round and we made history," Mr Bukele said in a victory speech to cheering supporters in the capital, after turning to snap a selfie with the crowd. "We've turned the page on power." Supporters of the Great National Alliance (GANA) celebrate in San Salvador  Credit: AFP Mr Bukele, who was mayor from 2015 to 2018, capitalized on the anti-establishment feeling sweeping elections across the region and further afield, as voters seek an alternative to traditional parties. "Let's see if he can do what he's promised for us," said Baltazar Sanchez, 30, one of hundreds of Salvadorans dancing, waving flags and blowing whistles in a plaza that Bukele had revitalized when he was mayor. "After 30 years of two parties, we've been dealt the best hand." Gang violence has made tiny El Salvador one of the world's most murderous countries in the past few years, driving Salvadorans to flee to the north. Among his campaign promises, Mr Bukele, an avid social media user who often sports a black leather jacket, said he would push infrastructure projects to limit such migration. Since the end of its civil war in 1992, El Salvador has been governed by the ruling leftist Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front (FMLN) and its rival, conservative Nationalist Republican Alliance (ARENA). Though he describes himself as from the left and was expelled from the FMLN, Mr Bukele has formed a coalition including a right-wing party that together has just 11 seats in the legislature. Outside the hotel in San Salvador where Bukele waited for the results, a group of supporters set off fireworks, beat drums and danced as early figures came in. "Yes, we did it! Yes, we did it!" they chanted. FMLN candidate Hugo Martinez conceded defeat shortly after Mr Bukele's victory speech while ARENA candidate Carlos Calleja said he recognized the election results and would call Mr Bukele to offer congratulations. Besides challenges on the international stage, when Mr Bukele takes office in June, he will face a sluggish economy and rampant poverty. He wants to modernize government and create an international anti-corruption commission with the support of the United Nations, following similar committees in Guatemala and Honduras. "We'll create a (commission) ... so that the corrupt can't hide where they always hide, instead they'll have to give back what they stole," Bukele said in January. Growing up, Mr Bukele's relatively wealthy family was sympathetic to the FMLN, the former leftist guerrilla army that became a political party at the end of the civil war. But

Donald Trump will keep troops in Iraq to 'watch Iran'

Posted: 03 Feb 2019 10:52 AM PST

Donald Trump will keep troops in Iraq to 'watch Iran'The United States will keep troops in Iraq in order to "watch" Iran, Donald Trump said on Sunday. Mr Trump said he wanted to maintain a military presence in the country even though he had repeatedly described the original decision to invade Iraq as one of the "greatest mistakes" ever made by the US. "We spent a fortune on building this incredible base. We might as well keep it," Mr Trump said in a wide-ranging interview on the CBS flagship political programme, Face the Nation. "One of the reasons I want to keep it is because I want to be looking a little bit at Iran because Iran is a real problem." The base, he said, was perfectly situated for looking across the whole of the Middle East. "We're going to keep watching and we're going to keep seeing and if there's trouble, if somebody is looking to do nuclear weapons or other things, we're going to know it before they do." US military personnel in the Middle East The US president has faced criticism over his approach to the Middle East, alarming senior Republicans over his determination to disengage from the region. Mr Trump, however, reiterated his unhappiness with the endless and costly wars in Syria and Afghanistan as he sought to clarify and justify his approach to the region. Just before Christmas, Mr Trump announced that he was pulling 2,000 troops out of Syria against the wishes of his defence secretary at the time, James Mattis, who quit in protest. In the Face the Nation interview, the US president said he had asked for Mr Mattis to resign because he was unhappy with his performance. "He resigned because I was very nice to him. But I gave him big budgets and he didn't do well in Afghanistan," he said. Global Isil attacks However, in the interview he was non-committal over the timescale for withdrawing troops from Syria because of the US commitment to protecting Israel. On Afghanistan, Mr Trump, who has been a critic of America's involvement in the country, confirmed that some troops would remain after some forces are withdrawn. "I'll leave intelligence there. Real intelligence, by the way. I'll leave intelligence there and if I see nests forming, I'll do something about it." But at the same time, he hinted that he was hopeful a peace deal could be negotiated with the Taliban. "We've been there close to 19 years. And it's time. And we'll see what happens with the Taliban. They want peace. They're tired.  "Everybody's tired. We'd like to have - I don't like endless wars. This war. What we're doing is got to stop at some point." Mr Trump's determination to reduce America's presence in the Middle East and his scrapping of the Iran nuclear deal flies in the face of the advice he has been given by the US intelligence establishment. But Mr Trump was unrepentant over his decision to ignore his own intelligence experts who have said that Iran has complied with the nuclear deal. US military personnel in the Middle East "I disagree with them 100 per cent. It is a vicious country that kills many people," Mr Trump said. "So when my intelligence people tell me how wonderful Iran is - if you don't mind, I'm going to just go by my own counsel." He blamed the intelligence services for America's involvement in Iraq. "Those intel people didn't know what the hell they were doing, and they got us tied up in a war that we should have never been in. And we've spent seven trillion dollars in the Middle East and we have lost lives." Stephen Myrow, managing partner with Beacon Policy Advisors, a Washington DC-based policy analysis firm, said the US president was using the interview to move the debate on from the government shutdown. "He is trying to turn the page," he said. "He is clearly in campaign mode and this is aimed at his 'America First' base. "For the first time he is facing pushback from his own party in Washington and this is a case of his saying 'promises made, promises kept'."
