"In this June 14, 2016 photo, a soldier stands next to a stenciled graffiti that reads in Spanish ""Truce between politicians"" painted on the main walls of the National Palace in San Salvador, El Salvador. After becoming the world's murder capital last year and posting an equally bloody start to 2016, El Salvador has seen its monthly homicide rates fall by about half. The government attributes the drop to a tough military crackdown on the country's powerful gangs, while the gangs themselves claim credit for a nonaggression pact between the three biggest criminal groups.
