The number of homicides in May reached levels unseen during the administration of Mexico President Enrique Peña Nieto, and the fact that they are more
widespread makes the trend increasingly difficult for authorities to
reverse.
Mexico's Executive Secretary of the National System of Public Security
(Secretariado Ejecutivo del Sistema Nacional de Seguridad Pública -
SNSP) announced there were 1,746 homicides nationwide during the month
of May, reported Milenio. The previous high for murders under Peña Nieto was 1,726 in December 2012, the same month he was sworn in as president. The last time homicides were this high was in September 2012, when former President Felipe Calderon was still in office, reported El País.
Mexico's homicide rate rose to 14 per 100,000
in 2015, reversing a downtrend trend in violence for the first time
since 2011. And homicides are up 19 percent during the first five months
of 2016 compared to the same time period last year.
Violence in Mexico is not only rising, it's spreading. Homicides have increased in 23 Mexican states during the first five months of 2016, according to Animal Político.
The largest jump has come in Colima, where murders have risen by over
400 percent compared to the same time period in 2015. The Pacific state
also owns the country's highest homicide rate, with 33 murders per
100,000 inhabitants.
Security analyst Alejandro Hope told InSight Crime that several factors are likely behind the rise in Mexico's homicide rate. But ultimately, Hope notes, these are only hypotheses. It's still not clear what exactly is driving the surge in murders. "We don't know for sure," he said.
But authorities no longer have the option of simply deploying federal troops
to a few violent hotspots. The violence is too widespread. Authorities
will have to come up with alternative means to stop the bleeding.

For the malandros to disapear a whole town with the army's help? Come on Raza, GET UP AND FIGHT QUE NO?

Deleteepn worries about the terrorist strike in turkey's airport, and promises and investigation, he will provide some experts, that in mexico are not needed at all, he has that covered with televisa producers of mexico political show...
DeleteThis dude is just a troll...please go back and secure helmland providence....its back on the hands of those cavemen....so much for all the technology used against them.

Anyone who thinks the solution is to deploy us soldiers to Mexico is a fuckin moron.soldiers are tired of having to fix other countries fuck ups especially when the lives of soldiers are at risk. The ones who are to blame like always are the governments who don't care about civilians- soldier casualties.they have agendas that the public nore the media know about.the military should only DEFEND the us not other countries that's why we are always in a cluster fuck with the world. In this case peña neto is organized crime and thats why its difficult to out him,the corruption runs so deep that in order for the Mexican people to receive justice they have no other choice but to revolt against the government Like Che,Castro, Gen.Pancho Villa,and Zapata. That is the only way!
Delete10:15-It's already happened.Wasn't there a town 5 years ago that 300 disappeared and gov did f$$k all about it!
DeleteNo longer have the option? What, are they running out of troops? Gotta suck up that pride n start asking other countries for help Mexico
ReplyDeleteThe mexican drug war will never finish, you could bring the U.N if you like, you stop the Mexicans, but then you got the asians dto's pushing their loads freely through canada...
Delete♤
8:19 the chinese were not waiting for anybody telling them what to do, but it is cheaper through mexico...
Delete--fack the panama canal, they have been caught and exposed spilling the bean soiled papers...it was no coincidence...
It costs a lot of money and a lot of investigators to solve crimes and the cupboard is bare so....impunity continues until it's like Honduras or....most violent country in the world and that sucks.
ReplyDeleteCivilians need to arm themselves and take the country back, even if they have to take out relatives.
ReplyDeleteMexican model shot in the head in front of her family in Monterrey...sad!
ReplyDelete@5:00pm
ReplyDeleteWar is a good way to "spend" money with the premise it was used while at war against Narcos.
We the Mexican senate and justice system do not want justice for the Mexican people because it can be applied to us as well and we would lose.
Are you nuts?
Maybe it's time to get with the program after all you stand for justice and it should be something you can be proud of to make a difference in someone's lives not just the people you know 8:12!
DeleteIt's only going to get worse with cartels reorganizing now that Rafael Caro Quintero, and Güero Palma are back in the picture, and hungry for power.
ReplyDeleteEl Rafagas is tired of the persecution, would love to live in peace and go to the movies and to get himself a pinchi vieja he can parade around in his car and to make all the other geezers jealous, maybe if he buys himself a presidente for 2018...
DeleteLa güera balazos, I mean palmas must want to live in peace his last years, they have money, why have anymore problems?
El Mencho will rule all of Mexico
ReplyDeleteWhat next? They gonna start donning the birthday candle vest ensemble like to psychos in syria and iraq?
ReplyDeleteThe only real way to make peace is to destroy all your foes. They care not for life and spread fear where they go and it works. It has always worked and so if you can't control a thing you must destroy it. The cartels are sending "sicarios" into the USA and we are giving them food stamps and free housing to be are friend lets see how that works out.
ReplyDelete6:22
ReplyDelete#1 we can't get imprisoned for taking food stamps, free housing and medicare...
#2 Running drugs for american drug trafficking warlords lands us in prison...
so #1 is the obvious choice.
--But on the bright side, I am genuisnously sorry for your feelings and wish you a prompt recovery...
