Cartel turf war rages in Mexico's Chiapas as groups fight over territory | FOCUS • FRANCE 24

People in Mexico’s southernmost state, Chiapas, have for the last year and a half, been living through a conflict between rival criminal groups. The Sinaloa Cartel and the Jalisco Nueva Generacion Cartel are both vying for control of the territory. The state, which borders Guatemala, has long been a hotspot for trafficking drugs, arms and migrants. But ravaged by years of inter-community conflicts, the security situation in Mexico’s poorest state is now spiralling out of control. In the face of growing insecurity, the left-wing rebel movement the Zapatista’s, recently announced that their self-managed municipalities, called “caracoles”, will be dissolved, in what looks to be a political retreat. Quentin Duval, Laurence Cuvillier and Ed Augustin report.
