MEXICO: Intimidation and assassination stalk Chihuahua
The authorities' inability to curb the violence in the big border
state of Chihuahua has become horribly apparent in the past week. The federal
government tried to assert itself in the state on 25 February by sending the
security cabinet to meet in the most violence-ridden city, Ciudad Juárez, but
the move was an empty gesture. The most telling event of the past week was the
resignation of Roberto Orduña Cruz, the police chief in Ciudad Juárez, on 20
February.
