This started with political people starting gangs there for their own benefit. And most of the politicians there are beyond guilty of pillaging their own country instead of doing something good for their country.
The gangs will essentially block the streets with rubble, with debris, they'll dig giant ditches in the road, and so these military and police units can't traverse.
To belittle this mission is to belittle and demean the very service these members who gave their lives.
