'Fed up': Thousands march against Sinaloa Cartel violence
The Catholic Church organized the march as residents demanded peace after more than 3,000 deaths in two years of cartel fighting.
- On Sunday, thousands marched through Culiacan, Mexico, against the Sinaloa Cartel violence, dressed in white and releasing balloons while chanting, "We want peace."
- Since September 2024, a bitter war between rival factions loyal to Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman and Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada has gripped Sinaloa, resulting in a death toll surpassing 3,000 in two years.
- Economic decline ravages the state of 3 million inhabitants; business leader Sergio Raul Esquer of Movimiento Ciudadano said, "More than 5,000 businesses closed, that's the tragedy Sinaloa is experiencing," while at least seven people were killed on Saturday alone.
- The Catholic Church organized the demonstration, with Culiacan's bishop, Jesus Jose Herrera, calling on gang members to stop the violence, while protesters chanted slogans against Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum.
- President Donald Trump declared the Sinaloa Cartel a "foreign terrorist organization" and threatened intervention on Mexican soil, yet thousands of soldiers deployed by Sheinbaum have failed to curb the ongoing violence.
