The violent conflict in Sinaloa, Mexico, primarily concerns two factions of the Sinaloa Cartel: Los Chapitos, led by El Chapo's sons, and Los Mayos, loyal to El Mayo. The fighting, especially in Culiacan, has escalated since September due to a leadership betrayal, resulting in over 800 murders and sourcing further instability. The local economy is collapsing under the pressure, with violence seemingly an everyday occurrence. While this area had previously experienced a semblance of peace, the recent surge in violence presents a profound shift that has left the community in desperation and fear.
Since the beginning of September, when hostilities began, violence has swept everything away, like a tsunami. The local economy is suffering and the night has become forbidden territory.
The state capital is bearing the brunt of the battle between factions of the Sinaloa Cartel, mainly Los Chapitos, led by the sons of Joaquin El Chapo Guzman and Los Mayos, loyal to Ismael El Mayo Zambada.
