Mexico Drug War Fast Facts

(CNN)Here's a look at the Mexican Drug War. The Mexican government has been fighting a war with drug traffickers since December 2006. At the same time, drug cartels have fought each other for control of territory.

Facts:


More than 60,000 people have been killed from 2006 to 2012 due to drug-related violence, during former Mexican President Felipe Calderon's six-year administration, according to Human Rights Watch. During that same six-year period, 26,121 people have gone missing in Mexico, though authorities don't have data about how many of the disappearances are connected with organized crime.

Since December 1, 2012, when Enrique Peña Nieto assumed the presidency, overall intentional homicide numbers have declined slightly, but the number of reported kidnappings continues to climb.

There are approximated 6,700 licensed firearms dealers in the United States, along the U.S.-Mexico border. There is only one legal firearms retailer in Mexico.

Nearly 70% of guns recovered from Mexican criminal activity from 2007 to 2011, and traced by the U.S. government, originated from sales in the United States.

Ninety percent of the cocaine that enters the U.S. transits through Mexico. Mexico is also a main supplier of marijuana and methamphetamines in the U.S.

Mexican drug cartels take in between $19 and $29 billion annually from U.S. drug sales.

    4. The reason Chapó lost Juarez was because when he went to jail most of his lieutenant's jumped sides to NCDJ. Now that he's out those same people are trying to jump back into the Sinaloa Cartel, before he was arrested he had majority control of Juarez.

    2. Man, Z-40 lost his mojo a long time ago. He doesn't have any clout. Whether in jail or roaming the back roads of Mexico like he was known for, he isn't a threat. The Los Zetas are hanging on by a thread. They are no longer as powerful as they once were. With or without Z-40, the Z's are at the end of the road. Just a splintered group, once powerful cartel, turned into pockets of street gangs still cutting off heads of women like cowards.

      Sinaloa is toting the mail in Mexico now. Better believe it.

    3. It might be true though because I remember a while back when chaps first escaped from altiplano there was an article somewhere saying that a mexican army general warned everyone before chapo escaped, that there was a deal in place to release both Z40 & chapo from prison...if it was true then maybe Z40 will probably be out before 2016 or maybe he wont

      Delete
    4. @2:31
      Z40 has the people to break out. and he still weilds a great amount of power. he got that one informant killed not to long ago. and not to mention Z40 was behind bars when that informant was killed. so he has plenty of power STILL. and the zetas are far from be finished. trust me.
      i have 3 family members with the gulf cartel and all admit Z40 was and still is a force and all admit the zetas are not done yet.

      And as another guy said in this page... Valentin Elizalde got killed because he started signing a love song and grabbing the hand of the girlfriend of the Gulf/Zeta Head in front of him in the Palenque's first row.. 😂 is fucked up how you can get killed on those times
