For almost four months, the Mexican state of Sinaloa has been the scenario of a turf war between "Los Chapitos" and "La Mayiza," the two most prominent factions of the Sinaloa Cartel. The violent conflict that started on September 9 has continued to escalate ever since, causing the death of more than 600 people.
Despite constant clashes between the two cliques, it remains unclear which side has the upper hand. But according to a spiritual advisor and analyst, that is set to change in 2025 as Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada's incoming hearing before American authorities could generate yet another twist in the ongoing conflict.
