Natural disasters

2012: Earthquake

An earthquake of magnitude 6.3, which occurred in the capital of Mexico, did not cause destruction, but forced thousands of residents of the city to leave their homes, reports Agence France-Presse on Monday evening, April 2, 2012[1].

The epicenter of the earthquake, recorded at 17:36 GMT, was located in the state of Guerrero, 314 kilometers southeast of Mexico City, 137 kilometers southwest of the city of Huajuapan de Leon, Oaxaca, according to the website of the US Geological Survey.

The mayor of Mexico City wrote in his microblog on Twitter that there are no casualties and destruction as a result of the natural disaster. The head of the city police, in turn, said that the inspection of the city from the air and the ground "did not reveal a catastrophic situation."

Despite the fact that the earthquake, according to reports, did not cause significant damage, the authorities of the capital of Mexico said, it forced thousands of residents of different areas of the city to urgently leave their homes.

Data on the effects of the earthquake outside Mexico City is being clarified. To clarify the situation in rural areas located near the epicenter of the earthquake, the authorities of the states of Guerrero and Oaxaca sent patrols.

According to seismologists, the tremors recorded on April 2 are the so-called aftershock of the earthquake that occurred in Mexico on March 20, 2012. Then, as a result of an earthquake of magnitude 7.4, the epicenter of which was located in the state of Guerrero, more than 500 buildings were damaged, including in Mexico City, two people were killed, 12 were injured.

2023: Clashes with drug traffickers after arrest of Ovidio Guzman Lopez - son of former Sinaloa cartel leader

According to official statements by the Mexican authorities, on January 6, 2023, a special operation to ensure law and order is being carried out in the north of the country amid the arrest of Ovidio Guzman Lopez, one of the sons of the former leader of the Sinaloa cartel, El Chapo.

Ovidio Guzman Lopez, Ivan Archivaldo Guzman Salazar and Alfredo Guzman Salazar are the leaders of the Los Chapitos group. The structure claims to be part of the Sinaloa cartel, but other factions do not recognize them as part of the cartel. These comrades have the most definite reputation - all the largest outbreaks of violence in the state are recorded on the account of Los Chapitos, which, even by local criminality, are recognized as non-negotiable.

For the "unexpected" arrest of Guzman, many in Sinaloa were ready - they prepared shelters in the mountains in advance or left the country. In another month, military equipment began to be transferred to the state, and American aircraft of the Drug Enforcement Administration patrolled the sky. A few hours before the capture of Guzman, the commander-in-chief of the 9th military zone of the Secretariat of National Defense in Sinaloa was replaced - and this essentially happened in the dead of night.

Cartel members continue to resist, though they retreat, burning civilian vehicles and seizing hospitals with doctors. It is known that American specialists are taking part in the special operation in Kulyakan.

Outbreaks of violence were recorded in the states of Sinaloa, Sonora and Nayarit - roads were blocked, shootouts did not subside, airports were stopped and mass events were canceled.

To a greater extent, the public is shocked that the cartels took part in the air battle on a par with the Mexican troops. At the same time, the fact that the bandits had helicopters and planes at their disposal is not surprising, if we recall that in some states entire units leave the army for cartels - and take with them everything they can. Some even go to the army to get the necessary training there to serve on narcos.

It is noteworthy that chaos in Mexico erupted against the backdrop of preparations for the Summit of North American countries (where US President Biden and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are to attend). In addition, just a few hours after the start of the special operation, former US President Donald Trump published a video message about the need to use the US armed forces in the fight against drug cartels.
