show moreThe cartels, such as the Sinaloa Cartel, Gulf Cartel, and Juarez Cartel, engaged in drug trafficking, organized crime, and corruption, posing a significant threat to Mexico's stability and security.The conflict escalated in 2006 when then-President Felipe Calderón launched a military-led crackdown on the drug cartels, deploying tens of thousands of troops across the country. This marked the official beginning of Mexico's war on drugs.
The government's objective was to dismantle the cartels, reduce drug-related violence, and restore public order.However, the intensified enforcement actions had unintended consequences. The aggressive approach led to a surge in violence as the cartels resisted the government's efforts, resulting in a cycle of retaliatory attacks, massacres, and the targeting of law enforcement officials, politicians, and journalists.
Innocent civilians have also been caught in the crossfire, leading to a significant loss of life and widespread human rights abuses.The drug war has exposed systemic issues within Mexico, including corruption within law enforcement agencies and the government, weak institutions, and socio-economic disparities. It has also fueled the growth of criminal organizations and the expansion of their activities beyond drug trafficking, such as extortion, kidnapping, and human trafficking.
In this episode, we hear about a troubling new tactic used by the cartel that injured 8 Mexican national guardsman.
