Due to recent
violence and the neglect from state and federal authorities in the region,
residents of the municipality of Aquila retook up arms, almost three years
after the emergence of the autodefensas.
In an interview
conducted by Noventa Grados Radio,
the leader of the autodefensas in Aquila, Semeí Verdía Zepeda, stated that in
less than a month, there have been three assassinations, two of which were
tortured and burned, as well as an ambush against municipal police.
The extreme violence
with which have been carried out by criminals and the lack of capacity of the
municipal police to ensure the security in the municipality, have forced people
to take up arms, Verdía Zepeda said.
The leader of the
autodefensas said that neither the state nor the federal governments turn to
take a look at the coastal region, as it is its duty to ensure the safety of
the state, but also acknowledged that it is the work of the three levels of government.
Semeí Verdía said that
the municipal police alone can’t handle the problem of insecurity, so that’s
why the civilians will help them, because organized crime forces them to be on
alert.
He also expressed the
full willingness of the people to cooperate with the authority if it approaches
them and asks them, but this has not happened, and instead has kept Aquila
outside of security and social actions.
Michoacán Government Denies Autodefensas Retook Up Arms
The Michoacán Secretary
of Government, Adrián López Solís, denied that with the recent events of
violence in the Sierra-Costa Region, that the autodefensas have resurged.
In this regard, López
Solís announced that in the coming days, the state government will work to
resolve the issue of the municipal police forces in Chinicuila, Aquila and Tepalcatepec,
where this conflict still persists.
According to López
Solís, the recent events in the area are the result of the remnants that remain
since 2015 when former Commissioner Alfredo Castillo Cervantes was head of the
security strategy in the state.
Also, López Solís
acknowledged that some of the leaders have problems with justice and despite
the requests made, they have not been made available to the courts to clarify
the situation, adding that there have not been any arrests by the authorities
because they have not shown themselves.

Hahaha massacre coming up in A quilt soon, Elet Americano will assemble it.
ReplyDeleteHere we go again, let's see how many children the pinchis soldados kill while trying to "arrest" Semei this time...
ReplyDeleteAs has occurred in the past, the response from the state or federal government of Mexico is to arrest the autodefensas leaders and members. Then they disarm them to leave them defenseless against the cartels and sicarios. In carrying out these acts, politicians ensure that they will continue to receive payoffs from the cartels while the innocent autodefensas leaders and members rot in prisons on trumped up charges. Prisons that just happen to be located as far away as possible from the families of the autodefensas and their attorneys. Sounds familiar doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteGrillonautas just interviewed cemei and cemei said that its a lie people are just spreading rumors
ReplyDeleteNot this shit again , they al corrupt and turn on their on People once in Power like the narcos do...we need uncle Sam over there already...
ReplyDeleteAutodefenzas are defenseless against rurales/cjng/viagras and the government who protect them. Michoacan is a narco state just like tamaulipas and sinaloa so as long as there's cartels there things are NEVER going to change. The people of michoacan tried but it's imposible to go against them and win. Too many are in prison on false charges and many more killed off.
ReplyDeleteYa que tanto levantamiento de armas de todos modos jamas podran contra el Cartel del PRI el mero mero Cartel de Mexico. Los demas solo son los frentes para desviar su atencion a los hechos reales.
ReplyDeleteTambien pienso que usan a los carteles para rebajae la poblacion de lacras que deciden no estudiar y andar pegandole al aurelio costrillas. Especial en las zonas fronterisas, fijense nuevo laredo puro werco menos de 18 años ya andan de sicarios.

1:36 education is not compulsive in mexico, nobody needs illustrated snobs that know it all spoiling the privatization dreams of the world's vulture capitalistas, and much of the money stolen by mexican politicians ends up in US Banks, including teacher's pensions and quotas, of course the US is not close to returning confiscated property or capital to any mexican citizen for any reason.
ReplyDeleteActually mi Mexico needs more illustrated people to help change minds and souls, specially people from the border slums.
ReplyDelete3:11 Mexican elite are more likely to be found in South America or Europe, if thats of who you are talking about. Most of the empresarios from Monterrey send their kids to Prestige universitys in Europe, stop making the US sound so glorious. Perfect example salinas de gortary (Ireland) and moreira (spain) where would they hide? Where would they invest? Theres more people to the list just check the panama papers out.
