The article discusses the recent operation by the Mexican Army that resulted in the death of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, the notorious leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). This cartel, which has become one of the most powerful criminal organizations in Mexico, was co-founded by Oseguera Cervantes and Erik Valencia Salazar after a split from the Sinaloa Cartel. His leadership since 2009 significantly expanded the CJNG's influence in drug trafficking and organized crime, making him one of the most wanted drug traffickers in the world.

Following Oseguera Cervantes' death, there has been a notable increase in violence across various regions in Mexico, characterized by road blockades, burning vehicles, and shootouts, illustrating the immediate ramifications of leadership voids in such criminal organizations. The CJNG's operations have historically focused on strategic territorial disputes that extend beyond Jalisco, affecting multiple key areas for drug trafficking within Mexico.

The implications of this event are substantial, not only for the security situation in Mexico but also for bilateral relations with the United States, which has assisted in anti-drug operations. The CJNG's ongoing capacity to maintain its operations in the wake of leadership changes highlights the complex dynamics in the Mexican drug trade and suggests that violence may continue as rival factions vie for control in the power vacuum left by Oseguera Cervantes.
