2. It's hard to eradicate the "police bandits". Regarding the current government's attitude towards drug trafficking, Mexican photojournalist Yue Se Tuwad vividly said: "As long as you take out 50 pesos (about 30 yuan RMB), the police don't care what you do!" In his view, Mexico's drug control is weak and the government has an unshirkable responsibility.
3. "Police-bandit scuffle" aggravated the riot. Since the 1990s, the drug trafficking groups in Colombia have been hit hard, and the drug trafficking groups in Mexico have only begun to grow. The rapid growth of drug trafficking groups is related to the tradition of "close ties" between the Mexican regime and illegal businessmen. As early as the end of World War II, the relationship between Mexican drug dealers and the regime has been consolidated, and the two sides have basically formed a sheltered "customer relationship."
4. Taking drugs as "enjoying life", Yue Se Thorwald has a deep understanding of Mexico's "drug culture": "It can be said that almost all adults in Mexico have taken drugs, but to varying degrees." In his view, Mexicans are optimistic and open-minded, have no reasonable plans for life, and all regard drinking or taking drugs as a manifestation of enjoying life.
Extended data:
In Mexico, drug gangs have no fewer people and weapons than government forces, and even have the nature of terrorist organizations to some extent. In this regard, the US Department of Defense believes that the two largest drug lords in Mexico have more than 654.38 million+armed members, and they have become powerful opponents of Mexican government forces-the number of government forces is 654.38 million+300 million, and their danger even exceeds Afghanistan and Iraq.
Sylvia Langmer worked in the US Air Force Special Investigation Team for eight years. She said that the criminal means and scale of Mexican drug trafficking groups have surpassed those of criminal organizations in the general sense, and they have some characteristics of terrorist organizations: "These drug trafficking organizations are learning the tactics, weapons technology and activity steps of terrorist organizations on a large scale.
These three standards, also known as TTPs, include armed attack, kidnapping, assassination, psychological coercion and other means. Nevertheless, drug trafficking organizations in Mexico can't meet the standards of terrorist organizations, because they have no political purpose, are not driven by religious beliefs, and are driven by interests. "
It is hard for people who have never lived in Mexico to imagine how powerful the drug trafficking forces here are. At present, violent conflicts between drug gangs in Mexico occur almost every day.
In September, Mexican citizen Wallace talked about the impact of drug trafficking on ordinary citizens: "We dare not drive, dare not take a taxi, dare not go to the streets alone, and always hold the children's hands." His brother was kidnapped in Mexico City, and a month later, his family received a ransom notice. A few months later, the police informed the family that his brother had been killed by the kidnappers. "
They dragged my brother's body to the bathroom and then went to the supermarket to buy a chainsaw. After returning to my residence, they sawed my brother and put him in a black bag. "Wallace said. According to statistics, 30% of cultivated land in Mexico is completely controlled by drug trafficking groups. Under normal circumstances, the Mexican media will publish news that drug trafficking forces are fighting with each other and assassinating military police and officials every few days.
The biggest victims are children. Since 2006, nearly 1 000 children have died in this "drug war" in Mexico, and the number of orphans has increased dramatically.
"Civil War" and "More Anti-drug" are the four major sources of drug control in Mexico.
