Violence In Cd. JuarezAn
Alternative
By: Danny LopezVictor SalcidoJeremiah Licon
An Alternative
• We will examine:
• Demonstrate the importance of bringing awareness to this crucial problem
• Similar Colombian Situation• Violence in Cd. Juarez• The severity of the situation• Scrutinize the futile efforts:
Mexico United States
• Provide an Alternate Solution– Why this will work
Violence In Cd. Juarez• Cd. Juarez, Chihuahua: Population close to 2 million
– The largest city in the state of Chihuahua– ..and the 5th largest city in all of Mexico
• In 1995 it wasn’t easy to buy cocaine in Cd. Juarez, because the cartels kept a lid on it.
• Now the city has up to 100,000 addicts according to local clinics.
• 50% of the kids you call High School kids, neither go to school nor have jobs.
• 40% of young males in Chihuahua want to become “Sicarios” [Professional Killers]
• We’ve created something so bleak that crime and murder is actually, a rational way to live.
Violence In Cd. JuarezMexico’s Outlay On Drug Cartels
Solutions Proposed• We believe it’s in the United States’ best interest
to take a more active role– Not only financial assistance
• Assistance of manpower• Intelligence• More Advanced Technology
The Colombian Situation• Similar events took place in Colombia
– Colombia’s drug war elicited by Drug Kingpin Pablo Escobar G.
• Colombian officials demonstrated Impotence To an exhaustive extent
The Situation• Violence in Cd. Juarez has reached an epidemic status
Evidence:– Shoot-Outs
• Helicopters• Massacres
– Drive By’s• Bullets have strayed to El Paso
– Abductions• Make Public Statements• Leads to Death (Decapitations)
– Car Chases
Violence In Cd. Juarez• U.S. has provided Mexico with millions of dollars to halt the
trafficking of narcotics from trespassing our borders– The Pentagons massive request of $1.4 Billion – The Aid Package will consist of $40 million this year
• But all of this has amounted to little more than nothing and a very bleak distant future.
• Every drug is more available in this country, than it was 40yrs ago– Higher quality– Cheaper
• Mexican Govt. is deceitful in the information it reveals• “One of the lies Michelle Obama is told is that 90% of the
dead people are drug people or dirty”• 2nd thing she is told is that we’re wining the war on drugs
Violence In Cd. Juarez• All this has lead to Major Terror• 1st Signs that all this is only getting worse• Circumstances Never before seen and used ( Juarez )
• Grenades• Advanced Weaponry
• Car Bombings
Army ArtilleryBazookasMachine Guns
Violence In Cd. Juarez• All this has lead to require the utmost
consideration– Alike the Colombian situation
• In Cd. Juarez– Now having occurred 4 Yrs. Ago– Mexico erupted with heinous bloodshed
Violence In Cd. Juarez– This has created ethos– It has turned all the medias attention
• Radio• Newspapers• Television
Press Conferences• Internet• Social Networks
Cell Phones• All this has managed to cross borders.
Violence In Cd. Juarez• Publications done in regards to the current events
In the book “The Cartel” Author Charles Bowden Declares
– “The escalation of the drug war in Cd. Juarez is an exact replica of the events that transpired in Colombia in the City of Medellin in the 80’s”
Which indicates the progression of the violence which will inevitably require some form of martial law
Violence In Cd. JuarezSolutions Previously Presented– As has been evident the Mexican Government has
attempted such resorts Implementing:• Local Police• State Police
– Federales• National Services
– A.F.I.– Army
• Mexican Government
– Including modifications to the law– Increasing security measures
• Road Blocks• Checkpoints
Violence In Cd. JuarezAdditionally • This solution while farfetched has proven to be the most
viable in the past.
• Homeland security is optimistic but warns not to expect a “V-Day for the war on drugs” in the next 5 yrs.
• U.S. Government manages techniques better
• The Merida Initiative: U.S.-Mexico Countered Drug Cooperation
• This is why this will work unlike everything else that has been attempted.
Violence In Cd. JuarezWhat were seeing is a slaughterhouse and its escalating.
In the manner that Pablo Escobar’s reign came to an end…we cant help to think that if Mexico would allow the U.S. a more active role…it might lead to a more promising outcome.Charles Bowden States:…Given the drug wars cross border nature, any long term strategy must include the U.S.As the old adage goes“desperate times, calls for desperate measures”
