September 9, 2024 marked the beginning of an internal war in the Sinaloa Cartel that, after a year of clashes between the Los Chapitos and Los Mayos factions , left a balance of 1,850 people killed (according to the latest security reports), more than 1,800 forced disappearances and a climate of insecurity that transformed the daily and economic life of Sinaloa.
Despite the deployment of more than 14,000 federal troops and multiple operations, violence persists, and Sinaloa society faces a landscape of uncertainty and fear.
Statistics presented by the federal and state governments reveal a stark reality for the state: September 2024 closed with 142 murders; October with 182; November with 175; December with 156; January 2025 with 138; February with 119; March with 135; April with 119; May with 165; and June with 219 homicides (of which 30 occurred on the 30th alone).
Official figures reveal that during this period, 46 members of security forces (including municipal and state police, investigative agents, and federal agents) lost their lives, 33 of them in Culiacán.
The victims are not limited to those involved in the conflict: women, girls, boys, and especially young men are among the dead.

The victims are not limited to those involved in the conflict: women, girls, boys, and especially young men are among the dead.
Furthermore, according to the Mexican government, there are 1,804 reported cases of forced disappearances, of which 643 people have been located; 136 of them were found dead. There is no public data on the circumstances of those who managed to return to their homes.
The state also obtained direct intervention from the Secretary of Security and Citizen Protection, Omar García Harfuch, which allowed for a temporary reduction in high-impact crimes.
According to the federal government, between October 1 and August 18, security forces arrested 1,615 people for serious crimes, seized more than 3,000 firearms and 64 tons of drugs (including more than one ton and 1.8 million fentanyl pills), and dismantled 105 methamphetamine drug labs; however, the public perception is that these efforts have not managed to sustainably curb the violence.
Furthermore, the daily lives of students in Sinaloa have changed drastically. From preschool to university, students and teachers have adopted safety measures in the classroom to prevent possible shootings by listening for gunshots, lying on the floor, and covering their heads. These types of protective strategies reflect the level of risk the population faces in their daily lives.
State Security
Given the situation, federal authorities have stepped up their presence in Sinaloa. The deployment includes elite Special Forces units, paratroopers, intelligence personnel, and Ocelot armored vehicles.The state also obtained direct intervention from the Secretary of Security and Citizen Protection, Omar García Harfuch, which allowed for a temporary reduction in high-impact crimes.

Banners have appeared on main roads in Culiacán with messages of peace and encouragement for residents who have faced the wave of violence caused by the internal dispute within the criminal organization.
The placement of these messages, called "pazmantas," was carried out by the Culiacán Valiente collective with the aim of sending a positive message to all Sinaloans living in Culiacán, which has been the main focus of the clashes.

Economic Costs
The economic impact of this crisis is equally severe. The private sector estimates that the violence affected all productive sectors, from agriculture to commerce, hospitality, gastronomy, and entertainment, even affecting private schools.
Economic losses are estimated at 36 billion pesos, while the state-run Coparmex reports the loss of more than 35,000 jobs. Furthermore, business closures have spread throughout the state, and nightlife in Culiacán's iconic locations remains paralyzed. This wave of violence has led the population to prioritize the security of their homes, limiting social and economic activity.

In addition, the agencies reported that 7,810 vehicles of all makes and models were stolen, exacerbating the sense of security and property loss.

These death and disappearance numbers should go down. The Chapitos are literally on life support right now. Not even their alliance with CJNG can help them. It's over. For all the fake Nuffys please stop trying to be me. I am an original and I have all my followers backing me in the Nuff Nation. If you want to take my name go heads up with me one on one. I have been a superhero named Nuffy for over three decades. Just ask my wife Buffy. Now go eat my shorts. Nuff Said!!!
ReplyDeleteIgnore this phoney fake Nuff ignoramus.
Delete-the real Nuff Said!!!
Nuff said a lot of deaths both sides but you and Buffy need to stop being cheerleaders in the nuff original
DeleteNuff you are nothing more than a comic book cheerleader! You don’t know shit! What do you have high level intel? NO you fucking don’t! You are just hoping and guessing so shut the fuck up on who is doin what. We all read the same shit you do!
DeleteNobody gives a flying fuck about that Nuff mumbo jumbo
DeleteCouldn't even imagine, God bless the innocent people that may be caught in collateral danger...
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately collateral damage is a given when such monsters are free to kill indiscriminately. It’s pathetic that with a supposedly army to keep things calm killings remain unfazed.
DeleteBlame and shame goes out to all those who did nothing.
So sad
All chapitos btw
ReplyDelete"En las garras del puma" Chile
ReplyDeleteY Mèxico está en las garras del ocelote...
The war on drugs' king-pin strategery is not working.
Alguna otra cosita?
$2.6 billion in economic losses in Sinaloa alone? Or does that include surrounding states?
ReplyDeleteNuffy Stole his Nuff Said from the Fantastic Fours Ben Grim!! And for the Casulties just a Typical year in TJ for the last 25 years!!🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽💀🇲🇽💀🇲🇽💀
ReplyDeleteSo sad. All because this death because Americans consume almost $200 billion worth of illegal drugs every year. First they give Mexicans a reason to kill each other over and then even sell them the guns and weapons to kill each other with.
ReplyDeleteYou sound worst than these chocolate bunnies that live up here always wanting to point the finger instead of admitting your people are savages that are barely house trained. Your one generation from going back in the jungles and dangling on trees like little monkeys. Yet you wanna blame Americans. Filthy little monkeys.
DeleteAmericans consume...Mexicanos consume...the whole world consumes. Go throughout the cities, pueblos and ranchos throughout Mexico and you'll see the rampant use of all drugs. Crystal meth being the drug of choice now, especially in the ranchos. You can blame the Americans all you want but how many people especially paisas no se hechan unos pericazos con unas chelas everyday or every weekend?
DeleteAmerica like many countries and that of Mexico has a drug epidemic that has killed thousands along with the crimes associated because of hypes. The blame goes to all those who contributed and those who ( Mexican government) allowed this to go on for decades. The corruption within their own government created such monsters to operate with impunity.
DeleteFinally the justice system of killing each other who are involved is by far the only approach taken on behalf of Mexican citizens.
Such sympathy for these atrocities is beyond belief. Those people (cartels) should just kill themselves for a better send off than being butchered.
So Mexicans push addictive drugs to America for American dollars. After flooding the streets with drugs and creating more addicts it’s the Americans fault the Mexicans take up guns and kill each other???
DeleteThat boys and girls is gaslighting. Blaming the addicts for being addicted to the drugs that Mexico provides and that makes it ok for them to be corrupted and go to war with one another. Oh it’s not just drugs. It’s avocados, petroleum, piso, human trafficking, sex trafficking, extortion, kidnapping, weapons trafficking, money laundering, forced labor and political corruption. So the criminals are actually the victims in your remedial mind. Whatever güey go to bed it’s a school night.
What? CIA pushed cocaine to pump shadow money to anti-communist guerrillas. They then became the cartels (South Americans btw)
DeleteSame shit they did with the Taliban and heroin.
They opium wars... it's the same shit on repeat.
Too bad all the scumbags involved are affecting the people who progress the human race. Not you trailer trash hillbillies pretending your supreme. There's nothing supreme about pedophiles and cousin fuckers...
Most of you talking trash probably live in a trailer park.
What a pathetic shameless victim you are. Are you not a man?! A man doesn’t blame somebody else. A man takes responsibility for one’s actions. You sound as pathetic as a certain group playing victim in the USA. Always blaming alway the victim!
DeleteYou forgot the organ trafficking.!
Deletecould someone educate me, i thought the chapos were the biggest with the most connections and power? you hear about el chapo all the time because he was one of the biggest but how were the mayos able to outperform them so well if before the internal conflict they weren’t talked about enough?
ReplyDelete7:52 ever hear the concept of "The Fall Guy"?
DeleteIvan poor leadership has destroyed whatever Chapo left behind he has broken alliances with groups that were loyal to Chapo like the Sonora group and even before the war started he was attacking Mayos people and trying to move in their areas
DeleteDo i feel sorry for the killed police officers? Not really cause most of them took the money.
ReplyDeleteDo i feel sorry for the businesses that closed? Probably not cause they all used to launder money.
Do i feel sorry for students? Eventually not cause they all did drugs and listen to that shitty music glorifying the narco lifestyle.
Do i feel sorry for the displaced people that went missing? Absolutely not cause they lived off blood money.
I hope the war lasts for at least another year.
So, your an asshole.
DeletePeople talk like this who've never been to Sinaloa. As if the only thing going is the drug business, as if good people have no reasons to stay.
DeleteIgnorant bastard
DeleteNot all Mexican's consume drugs. There are many who are good people who have educational goals and put the effort to better themselves. Moreover, many businesses do not partake in laundering money. Many of these businesses large or small are victims of the extortion practices that these criminal organizations do. The kidnapping of many of such people have closed their doors due to the lack of security measures that the police, government forces have not been able to curb.
DeleteIn my opinion it’s the municipality along with politicians who benefit from such activities. The truth is a failure of the government to protect their citizens.
Ahhh lla viene el dia de los muertos.!!! Cual es tu comida favotita?
ReplyDeleteSuchiiii pero del original que hacemos en sinaloa no como el Que nos copiaron los japoneses!
DeleteDont worry people of Mexico Donald J Trump will put things back in order, and put these criminals in their place!
ReplyDeleteWith all those deaths and missing people; it looks more like Cambodia in its early stages.
ReplyDeleteIt's a holiday in Cambodia guitar hero 3
Delete...The Year Of Living Dangerously
Delete6:41 turning all these people against each other os jus part of a policy of "Divide to Conquer" while stealing funding moneys from the US taxpayer, (or the Treasury).
ReplyDeleteHow much of those 200 billion dollars makes its way to the mexican narcos?
And how much of those bllions comes from the Kensington Zombies?
Charlie Kirk killing was a Epstein distraction.
Delete1224
DeleteYou had me almost convinced until you made up the part about the $200 billion.

Looking at current U.S. State Department travel advisories for Mexico, seems pretty dire. But then look at the world map and plan your vacation to Kazakhstan.
