Gov’t addresses Sinaloa violence
The security cabinet of President Claudia Sheinbaum’s government travelled to Sinaloa state on 8 October to coordinate operations with state officials. Sinaloa, and state capital Culiacán in particular, has seen a surge in violence in recent weeks driven by clashes between rival factions of the Sinaloa drug trafficking organisation (DTO). The violence has emerged as one of the early security challenges of Sheinbaum’s presidency and the new administration is keen to demonstrate it has a handle on the situation, with the security cabinet visiting the state on the very same day as the government unveiled its brand-new national security strategy.
