AUC Still Going Strong-Shootout with Templarios-Rurales in only 6 Municipalities

Borderland Beat translation by "Pepe"
With rifles and pistols of all sizes, including those reserved exclusively for the Mexican Army, self-defense groups are still in the towns and villages of Michoacán.

The threat to arrest any civilian seen in public with guns turned out to be just talk.

The self-defense groups are still present in many towns in the state, manning checkpoints and aiding the federal forces, as happened in Apatzingán a few days ago.

On May 27, alleged members of the Templarios engaged in a gun battle with self-defense forces in downtown Apatzingán.

After the shootout, federal forces and self-defense members were deployed to three colonias, where other firefights took place, searching for the aggressors.

With high-powered weapons in plain sight, the self-defense members conducted searches of houses and streets.

 "After May 10, there will be no armed people seen in the streets," warned Interior Minister Osorio Chong, during a trip to Morelia on April 24th.

He was basing this statement on the agreement reached 10 days earlier between Commissioner Castillo and leaders of the self-defense groups.

In this agreement, the rebellious civilians accepted the registration of their weapons and the opportunity to join the new Fuerza Rural starting May 10th.

In this way, the self-defense members could continue to guard their communities, but now under rules, with registered weapons and official uniforms.

Commissioner Castillo even warned that there would be no extension to any of the deadlines announced.

The new Fuerza Rural (FR), previously self-defense groups, began operating on May 10th.

However, almost three weeks later, federal authorities have had difficulties getting the FR up and running. Of the 27 towns and cities part of the May 10 agreement, only five have actually created a FR unit.

Tepalcatepec, Buenavista Tomatlán, Coalcomán, La Huacana y Chinicuila, are the only towns where the FR is currently operating.

In all the others, the self-defense groups, i.e., armed civilians, continue operating as before.

One of the checkpoints controlled by self-defense members is near the Cuatro Caminos-Apatzingán highway intersection.  There you can see armed men openly carrying high-powered weapons and ammo, stopping and checking every vehicle that passes.

  6. In Berman's interview with Mireles, he says when the Federal government worked side by side with AD they were very effective and made excellent progress. I believe that was the best scenario. AD undeniably have courage and resolve.

  14. @9:34 names, names!
    some day, i hope, a better historian will put together the history of crime and criminals in michoacan, until then, remember Francisco Sahagun Baca, the former DFS agent dismissed for bad behaviour after serving faithfully the political establishment when it committed some of the most egregious examples of abuse against mexican citizens, in the company of lebanese - mexican DFS officers JULIAN SLIM HELU AND MIGUEL NAZAR HARO...
    among the greatest hitz of FRANCISCO SAHAGUN BACA, is that he is the uncle of Marthita Sahagun Baca, the used second hand wife of presidente vicente fox who had too many miles on the muffler when she became the mexican's first "second hand lady" and brought the michoacan maffia up...

  17. I stopped using a screen name because I think Chivis stopped liking to publish my comments, but even as Anonymous my comments do not get published. Do you have my IP address and just do not like me? None of my comments are offensive or inappropriate.

  18. What an emotional roller coaster this is. It is like reading a novel and hoping the good guys prevail. Which usually happens. This could turn into something much bigger and you may be watching a part of history in Mexico. Or it could come to an end very quickly and just became a short story. I am hoping for bigger and better things from these Michoacana's and their families and livelihoods. They deserve to be left in peace. Hopefully they can achieve that.

  23. @ 11:34 a.m. The story doesn't say. Says they escaped. Still no word.

    But when you go to that Cambio de Michoacán link right now, you see this story, also:

    http://www.cambiodemichoacan.com.mx/nota-225917

    Late last night gunmen shot up one of those AD checkpoints, like the one mentioned in the main story above. This one is located in between Uruapan and Los Reyes, near the old church buried by Volcano Parícutin.

    500 shells left behind!

  28. Finally, some of the people got the "Balls" to do what the Govt. either can't or won't do and now they want to handicap them and take the only equalizer that they have (Automatic Weapons) and put them in Jail. The only people in
    that state that want to do whats right and now besides possibly getting murdered
    they are going to be arrested for defending their families, the towns people and their property! What a F--ken Joke Mexico has become.
