Region exempt from violence so far
If criminal bands operating in drug and fuel trafficking have been denounced in the states of Puebla and Tlaxcala, this region of Mexico has so far been exempt from this type of violence more frequent for more than ten years in the North and the Pacific Coast of Mexico where groups of drug traffickers operate.
On June 30, on a road from Sinaloa (northwest), 20 corpses were found, including five beheaded. Since the controversial launch of the war against drug trafficking in 2006, Mexico has recorded more than 450,000 homicides and 100,000 disappearances, according to official figures.
