The recent killing of drug boss El Mencho has escalated violence and chaos in Mexico, creating a tense atmosphere just months before the FIFA World Cup.
The Mexican authorities have recently engaged in a violent confrontation in Tapalpa, targeting a high-ranking member of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) in a bid to disrupt their operations ahead of the upcoming FIFA World Cup. El Mencho, a notorious drug leader, has been known for his cartel's ruthless tactics and expansive reach across 21 of Mexico's 32 states. The use of military helicopters and gunfire throughout the area underscores the severity of the situation as the cartel's influence grows, contributing to widespread public fear. This unrest comes at a crucial time, as Guadalajara is set to host matches for the World Cup, raising concerns about security and safety during the global sporting event.
