Mexico has spent the last 24 hours in a state of high tension after security forces killed Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, better known as “El Mencho”, a powerful druglord and the long-time head of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG).
While authorities described the military operation as a decisive blow against organised crime, the aftermath triggered widespread unrest across the country with the members of cartel going on a revenge spree burning vehicles and setting petrol stations on fire.
