Violence-torn Sonora town issues cry for help

Mariana Alvarado Arizona Daily Star

The silence is pierced by an anguished cry.

"Everybody in town knows who the killers are ... They burned down my house, my ranch, they threw grenades. I want justice!"

It's Jorge Mendoza López, whose three brothers were kidnapped and presumed killed last Sept. 17, presumably by drug traffickers. His shouts get attention of the crowd gathered at the plaza Tuesday and distract Tubutama's mayor, Santos Castañeda Barceló, who asked for a moment of silence to mourn the killing of three town officials.

Mendoza López demands answers from Sonoran legislators, who have traveled from Hermosillo to this mission town 40 miles south of the U.S.-Mexico border as part of an armed convoy of politicians, officials and reporters. Guarding the group are dozens of armed agents from the Mexican military and Sonoran police.
The Sonoran Legislature has moved the day's regular session to Tubutama to publicly approve a new law that lets municipalities like Tubutama request state police resources.

Perhaps no place in Mexico needs help like Tubutama. It used to be a popular stop on tours of Americans wanting to see beautiful mission churches.

Then drug gangs started warring on the roads connecting northern Sonora's mission towns. The town's last policeman, 34-year-old Julio Adrián Paz Robles, was killed May 29. Mayor Castañeda Barceló's staff members Gerardo González Méndez and Sergio Vázquez Díaz were shot dead a year ago in San Jorge - a village close to Tubutama. Their bodies were found inside a green pickup without license plates.

Last July 1, a shootout between rival traffickers competing for drugs and smuggling routes left at least 21 people dead and six wounded, Sonora's attorney general says. The violent confrontation occurred on a deserted stretch between Tubutama and Sáric, about 12 miles south of the Arizona border near Sasabe.

Since then, hardly anybody dares to drive those roads. Grocery distributors no longer make deliveries. The town's only gas station has closed and now serves as a checkpoint where members of the Mexican military sometimes monitor who goes to and from Tubutama.

Many of the town's residents have fled. Mexico's census bureau says Tubutama and its six surrounding villages have 1,751 residents. Mayor Castañeda Barceló estimates that at least 300 have left.


BROTHERS KIDNAPPED

On this hot, humid afternoon, with dozens of masked state policemen standing guard and a helicopter watching over the plaza, Mendoza López is among the few who dares to speak to the visitors.

"They pretend they don't know who kidnapped my brothers. They are afraid to talk," Mendoza López yells to reporters.

He tells how masked gunmen broke into the family's house in Sáric one night and kidnapped his brothers. He hasn't found their bodies, and today he's in Tubutama looking for help.

"There's bad stuff going on here, but nobody wants to talk," says a woman from Hermosillo, who's in Tubutama trying to persuade her mother and two sisters to leave with her. "I'm afraid of reprisal against my family."

"We are all very afraid," says a young man watching the legislative session from the other side of the plaza. "We are alone, there's no police."
He also refuses to give his name.

Fear is the new ruler of Tubutama, clashing with the calm of the Mission San Pedro y San Pablo de Tubutama and of the clean, white houses surrounding the plaza.

Even Mayor Castañeda Barceló says he's still alive only through the grace of God.
"Of course I'm afraid. I'm a human being," he says. "We are here without protection."

NO SPEAKING OUT

Tubutama residents don't just hesitate to speak out - they hesitate to speak at all. Some women sitting with their children in the plaza avoid eye contact with strangers and ignore the visiting reporters.

The government says last year's shootout was the result of a dispute between drug gangs. But locals will not acknowledge that.

While the Legislature meets on the street, the Rev. Anastasio Franco Gómez tells visitors that Tubutama was a quiet town until 2004.

"I served at the funeral of two young men," he says. "People said they were killed because of drug trafficking. Since then, it hasn't stopped."

Eight years ago, when he moved here, children played in the plaza. "Now we are all very distressed about the situation. … We are losing our young people."
Residents carefully avoid using words like cartels and drugs. One young father outside the church with his wife and children says "they" don't mess with people who are not involved in the drug trafficking. But still, he says, things are pretty bad.

"Right now, with the presence of the military, we've had groceries," he says. "But in the past months, we didn't have anything. No gas, nothing."

Two stores remain in Tubutama, and one of them opens only when a distributor from Nogales comes with milk and eggs. The elementary school has lost 60 of its 90 students and the kindergarten is closed. The high school is still open, but students complain about the lack of resources.

"At school, we need a lot, there's no trees, no fields for sports, we need help," says a student who's attending the legislative session. "We try to continue with our normal routines ... A year ago we didn't even want to go out."

The tours that for years brought tourists on weekend trips to admire northern Sonora and the missions founded by Father Eusebio Francisco Kino were suspended last year because of drug violence. In April the U. S. State Department advised Americans to avoid "nonessential" travel to certain parts of Sonora. That includes the towns of Sáric, Tubutama and Altar, as well as the eastern edge of Sonora that borders the state of Chihuahua.

"People used to visit here, lots of tourists, but since last year they don't come," says the young father outside the church. "I've been here all my life, and it's never been this bad. People are just afraid."

OUTSIDERS AFRAID

Outsiders are afraid, too.
The legislative session is guarded by 250 state policemen, 60 trucks and two helicopters. That's in addition to the dozens of state investigative policemen and the Mexican soldiers guarding the roads for the armed convoy escorting 29 legislators, 32 journalists and dozens of staff members from Hermosillo to Tubutama and back.
Even an armed guard cannot make the group feel safe - or make them want to stay.
Legislators say they are happy that, because of the security they brought with them, the children of Tubutama have the courage to come out and play in the plaza for the first time in months.
As quickly as possible, they approve a new law that will eventually bring police resources to Tubutama. No locals are invited to speak and drug violence is not addressed.

Legislators tell residents they bring a message of peace, and then they are ready to leave.

Their job is done.

The convoy leaves Tubutama after less than four hours, and residents retreat back inside their houses. The plaza and the streets are empty once again.

"It's good they came," a woman says, as she gets ready to leave the plaza. "But let's see if that changes something."

  2. i guess it never occurred to them to leave a force behind ..and start training a defense force...oh wait ..you wouldn't want to do that ...can't have Mexicans able to have guns and the training and backup from the government to defend themselves... the guy who was complaining will be dead in three days

    can you imagine what it is like for these people ...

  3. Hola Ove!

    I remembered the big shoot out of a year ago where 21 were killed including the two officials. Below is a link BDN lots of fotos..(some are a bit graphic warning to narco blog newbies) These mission towns have little in the way of police, if Mexico is serious of the new law that is a good thing.

  6. Drug gangs,My ass, Criminals period,yes they make money off drugs ,BUT they terrorize the country stealing vehicles,kidnapping,extorting,murder, intimidation,and to top it off the majority of public,political, govt people spend their time plotting to make money thru rampant abuse of power. If there were no drugs at all you would still have a country DOMINATED by lawlesness across the public and private sectors all trying to make money thru any means they can dream up. This WAR is a crusade to bring some funtionality, to the culture of Mexico,in time Ethics ,integrity COULD become common,it could happen but not without a Hell of a fight. These small towns are prime examples of how Gangs have terrorized the population. Not protecting free speech, and not allowing the people to be armed are two prime contributors to the current turmoil.Remember the first and second amendments to th US Constitution,there is a reason they are no 1 and 2

  8. ""Everybody in town knows who the killers are "
    Then go get them and stop supporting a government that has outlawed your rights. Every INDIVIDUAL has a duty to ensure there is a justice in society. That Duty comes from God and allows you to exercise your rights to enforce justice. In most societies we have given authority to fulfill this duty to a (hopefully) trained, impartial and uncorrupted 3rd party: i.e. police. But you as an individual are still responsible for ensuring there is justice in society. When that 3rd party can no longer be used towards that end then YOU as an individual need ensure there is justice. Some may call this vigilantism but that is only true when there is a legitimate instrument of force from the government which Mexico currently has none.

    The cartels are a network. You will never defeat this network with a hierarchy (Mex gov) and a corrupt one at that. Get with your neighbors. Exercise your RIGHTS and defend yourselves. Stop tolerating the criminals in the streets and in City Hall.

    no offense intended..

    pero.. ..

    but easy to say...take up arms...but in Mexico it is a different reality ...these narcos are armed to the teeth and would have no worrys about killing EVERYBODY in the whole town

    these folks have no guns ..no training ..no backup...no history of armed resistance...nada..and even the "authoritys" are not to be trusted

    Mexican style is this ..hunker down..keep silent ..carry on ...and hope for the day it passes

    what other real choice do they have ?

    you wonder how some Mexicans can be so sweet and docile ...and others are world class cruel violent murderers

    all mixed up together..impossible to tell apart

    as savage as some of the africans are ..they are not on the same level

    that is what makes Mexico so beautiful , alluring , and sometimes , deeply creepy

    we as Americans take our safety for granted

  12. lito brito 9:47am...your comment is exactly right

    Anon 7:25 am...your comments lack any understanding of the problem. Typical outsider "Dirty Harry" mentality.

    I have lived in Monterrey for almost 13 years and I have seen so many changes.

    But the notion that arming civilians is somehow going to make things safer is ludicrous.

    The cartels are the perfect example of "pack mentality". Overwhelming force with overwhelming numbers is their M.O.

    At our ranch, we have guns (illegal yes, but like everything else in Mexico, easy to get if you slip someone a few bucks). But when 4 large Lobo pickups come crashing in your gate with 25-30 armed men and offer you 15 minutes to leave, you know what happens? YOU LEAVE!

    And then you spend the next year hoping they don't completely destroy the place.

    This is the reality of living the life here. You just have no idea.

    thanks for the offer though...jajaja


    seriously ..that force would believe it or not ...probably have a major effect on the whole city... there are probably not that many uncorrupted, well trained, motivated, and dedicated valiants in the whole city...

    a lot of people would be all about it ...the gringos are here... the gringos are here ...the kids especially...bring regalos

    besides i couldn't afford to buy all that Tecate blanco and carne asado

    they would all have a lot of fun though ...and most of them would probably end up married


    seriously..that could arguably be the largest force of dedicated , motivated , highly trained and incorruptible valiants in the whole city..a lot of people would really embrace it ..the gringos are here ..the gringos are here ..especially the kids..bring lots of small regalos to pass out

    occupy the Opisbado..with a few helis and some mortars...and go from there ..

    just the very thought of a force of combat veterans who were actually on the side of the people would shock the shit put of the bad guys ...

    imagine guys who know how to take care of business and can't be bought off...a true foreign concept for Mexico

    Yes, I had to abandon E-1/Ard. Things were a bit unfair to Buggs and BB readers seeing the three of us go at it. But I sneak back now and then and wow, I laugh because nothing changes, the comments are still the same ol shit, and Brito vs Ard show continues. I must say your comment with the disclaimer is classic and I LOL.

    I am very angry at Mx right now. I lost a kid Thursday night on his way to Mty for private treatment he died in Monclova. Mx places no value on the lives of children of poverty, so instead of chemo our foundation funds will bury his little body. A life could have been saved.

    and folks wonder why "The Ponchis Generation" exists. Until a society places value of the lives of all children these children will be vulnerable to what evil comes along. I wonder if I am getting too old for this shit, I literally called the medical director a fucking liar. But it was true.

    Mty is much differenct than your last trip, as you know, becareful.

    i just think any of us fortunate to be able to cross back and forth across the border and come home to the USA and for better or worse be safe ..should appreciate it...

    i really do feel for the millions of wonderful peaceful people of Mexico who would give anything to have a functioning police force staffed by largely honest guys ..a society that they could raise a family in.... make a life in..even though they do very well in spite of all odds .. a credit to the people

    even though i strongly oppose illegal immigration... i am not against the people ..

    it is OUR STUPID IMMIGRATION POLICY...that refuses Mexicans a visa ..a dignified permiso to be here ...i am totally convinced that the only Mexicans our government wants here are illegals...so they can be exploited in every way..all the while screwing Americans workers as well...unless of course you can plunk down 100,000 USD as an investment in a big company or something

    i got to go to Monterrey ..personal reasons...and really look forward to it ..but no shit ..i dread it as well...there are no guarantees for anybodys safety there ...unless you live above the clouds...AKA super elite wealthy

    It's all about the children. The father of the little guy said he was calling for Buela Chivis just before his death " when is she coming?" I know it was not because he loved me about all others, it was I was his hope. I don't fear death, I fear torture. But fear won't keep me away, the attitude of mexicans possibly will.

    @Brito..I am weary, I work long hours and 100% fund the foundation, but I am sicken by what exists and maybe I have done enough, but each time I decide to leave I see one more child I can help.

    I know you have tried the olive brach with Ard, but one must realize that is not what he wants. It is what it is.

    Immigration, wow so complicated. I believe in the guest worker program. I read a comprehensive report on it and it had few flaws, it stoped as its time had expired. Time to drga it out, fine tune it and get busy. This will keep track of migrants, they pay taxes and there is regulation.

  41. @ 3:27 Welcome to BB.
    I don't hang out on the main board much (this is mainboard) I prefer forum (over on the right) because I can post anything I want and get real time discussion. I have "met" many good folks, like "justagirl" here on this thread.
    In a nut shell, I run our family foundation, and have been in NE Mx for 8 years. I have seen the violence and deterioration up close and very personal. 75% of my work benefits disabled children. 100% benefits poor children.

    In Mx there is no value placed on disabled children who receive no resources, and children of poverty are deemed of little importance. They are not given a basic quality education, and though Mx is supposed to have “universal medicine” that does not apply to the poor, they may say they have it..until they become ill and then they are considered just so much attrition. I have 3 of “my kids” die in 5 mos. This last one woke up blind over a week ago, the government had the family running around from town to town while it was obvious to me they were biding time till the child died. We funded the removal of the first tumor, his pain so horrific he banged his head on walls to numb it. Mx did not even give him pain meds. Ironic.

    Finally the gov said they needed 7000USD for equipment rental or they would not remove the tumor. Where is a family earning 30 USD per week going to get 7000? He was having 10-15 seizures a day, totally blind, scared out of his mind. He was on his way to Mty to be admitted for treatment funded by us. He had a massive seizure, choked, had a heart attack and died. He was 14 years old. His family shanty was lost in Alex. They are dirt poor.

    What I have to say to you is, Mx has many problems. The focus is on the violence. But the reality is that until Mx places worth on all children equally, providing basic human rights, they will be vulnerable to evil. The why these children become young narco, halcones, assassins of what I call The Ponchis Generation is because they have nothing else. Does it make it right? NO Are they accountable? YES I am simply explain why it is. They are the creation of a government and society that has shunned the poor and indigenous peoples of their nation, and that my friend is a whopping 60% plus of the entire country.
    Thanks for your interest.
