Summary
Mexico’s cartel war has intensified, with over 1,000 dead or missing, disrupting life in Sinaloa and shattering the myth of the “good narco.”
Rival factions of the Sinaloa cartel, led by sons of imprisoned founders El Chapo and El Mayo, are waging a brutal conflict that disregards civilians.
The older generation’s perceived code of sparing innocents is gone, with forced recruitment and violence targeting ordinary people.
As propaganda efforts persist, locals express anger and despair, rejecting the notion of any “good narco” amid escalating bloodshed.
I stongly believe most criminals become violent because they don’t care about the damage they cause others and only focus on what benefits themselves.
