El Salvador’s homicide rate jumped 70 percent this year, putting the country on track to become the most dangerous in the world.
The homicide rate had dropped in recent years after the country’s gangs reached a truce that limited the violence there. But the pact collapsed last year, sending the murder rate soaring to levels that rival those of Honduras, which for years has registered the highest homicide rate in the world.
Some 6,500 Salvadorans died violently this year, compared to 3,912 the year before, according to police statistics cited by Reuters. That works out to a homicide rate of 104 per 100,000 people, or about 18 homicides a day, according to the Spanish newswire EFE — a figure that exceeds even the average daily number of violent deaths during El Salvador’s brutal civil war, which lasted from 1980 through 1992.
