The situation of cartel violence in Mexico is complex and multifaceted, with various criminal organizations vying for control of territories, drug trafficking routes, and other illegal activities. Here's a summary:
  1. Background: Cartel violence in Mexico has been a longstanding issue, rooted in factors such as drug trafficking, corruption, poverty, and weak governance. The rise of powerful drug cartels can be traced back to the 1980s and 1990s when Mexico became a major transit route for drugs entering the United States.
  2. Cartels: Some of the most prominent cartels include the Sinaloa Cartel, Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), Los Zetas, Gulf Cartel, and the Knights Templar Cartel, among others. These organizations are involved in drug trafficking, extortion, kidnapping, human trafficking, and other illegal activities.
  3. Territorial Control: Cartels often engage in violent confrontations with rival groups to expand their territorial control. These conflicts result in high levels of violence, including assassinations, massacres, and the displacement of communities.
  4. Government Response: The Mexican government has implemented various strategies to combat cartel violence, including military operations, police crackdowns, and cooperation with international law enforcement agencies. However, these efforts have had limited success in curbing the influence of cartels or reducing violence significantly.
  5. Human Rights Concerns: The violence associated with cartels has led to widespread human rights abuses, including disappearances, torture, and forced displacement. Civilian populations, journalists, and human rights defenders are often targeted by cartels for intimidation or retaliation.
  6. International Impact: Cartel violence in Mexico has significant implications beyond its borders, including drug trafficking routes that extend into the United States and other countries. The flow of drugs, weapons, and money across borders contributes to transnational organized crime and poses challenges for regional security.
  7. Challenges: Addressing cartel violence in Mexico requires a comprehensive approach that addresses underlying socioeconomic factors, strengthens institutions, promotes the rule of law, and tackles corruption at all levels of government. Additionally, international cooperation and assistance are crucial in tackling the transnational nature of organized crime.


In this episode we hear how Mexico is set on a collision course with what looks like it might be one of the most violent years on record and what that might mean to you.
