Mexico’s city of Culiacán besieged by organised crime amid violence in Sinaloa state
On October 1, Claudia Sheinbaum took office as president of Mexico. She inherits a country where organised crime still rules in many regions; a deadly situation that her predecessor, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, failed to curb. More than 30,000 murders are still committed each year, and on average, 29 people disappear every day without a trace. The city of Culiacán, in the northwestern state of Sinaloa, has recently become the symbol of this violent epidemic. Our correspondents Laurence Cuvillier, Quentin Duval and Ed Augustin report.

They just hard working immigrants 😳
How does the cartel not have nuclear missiles where's all that money going?
If people stopped doing drugs , cartels would have no one to sell too . We need to fix that .
I thought the hugs not guns policy was working.
They said rivals 😂😂😂they are fighting for power within the cartel.
It not only the us this just happend yesterday morning Investigation underway after human head found in box on Chicago's West Side
This is normal and glorified in culture and music.
Funny how poverty follows one of the most money making businesses in the world. A small piece of lead costs .014$
Do you really think the US dont have their own cartels ??
Greetings from El Salvador 🇸🇻
Its common now, thank you US agencies for making pacts with chapiza, now we gonna take chapiza down and keep ruling the underworld
not a single report tells how many of the losses were criminals, neither show families of those crying for their loss, yet i bet there are a few percentage of innocents
2nd amendment – problem solved.
My family is from a ranch close to El Salado and things were nothing like this 2 years ago when I spent 3 weeks in Culiacan
"mexico is safer than the usa…" -all mexican govt officials lol
Crime will be difficult to pin down if there are those who are corruptible on the inside of Law Enforcement.
The northern provinces of Mexico have been involved in a Full-Blown Civil War for the past 25 years plus with zero end in sight.
It'a not "score settling". Irresponsable reporting. It's a war.
The majority of the people have forgotten about those responsible for bringing drugs in to Mexico . THE CHINESE AND THIER POPPY PLANT. there is something we aren’t being told about Mexicos unraveling war . Think about it the biggest lithium deposit was recently found in Mexico.
The United States wants a piece of that lithium ass
The Chinese probably do too.
If that’s the ridicule case then what next is to be. That second moon were told about its Jacobs star 🌟 last time it appeared was when Jesus Christ came to be born on earth as God in the Flesh
Don’t forget their own government allowed for this to happen.
The Tesla robots will be perfect there
😂😂😂 don't contradict each other! It's like saying that the US authorities 🇺🇸, can't capture those who receive the shipments that reach the streets where vulnerable people live!
Just like Chicago
