The violent turf war in Sinaloa between Los Chapitos and La Mayiza marked its one-year anniversary last month, a conflict that has left thousands dead and thousands more missing.
This week, during one of President Claudia Sheinbaum's press conferences, Security Minister Omar García Harfuch said that despite the ongoing fighting between the two Sinaloa Cartel factions, the arrest of key cartel operatives and coordinated efforts by Mexican authorities have helped reduce homicides in the state by 42 percent.
