AMLO blames Chiapas massacre on drugs, migrant trafficking, says residents will be protected

Local media published photos of victims on top of each other in the back of the truck. Some wore military-style garb and boots. A few assault-style rifles are seen next to bodies.

U.S. security experts attribute the violence in Chiapas to groups affiliated with either the Sinaloa cartel or the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG).

More cartel violence... It's absolutely terrible, but the silver lining is that they're killing each other this time, not innocents.

A family of five was shot dead in April, and five of the alleged perpetrators were killed the next day in a confrontation with security forces.

I really hope Mexican and Guatamalan security forces can get things under control. I'd really like to visit that area as a tourist, but my SO is unwilling while the violence continues.
