Schools close and flights suspended after military raid kills Jalisco New Generation Cartel leader Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes
Whole areas of western Mexico have been all but shut down after a surge in cartel violence sparked by a military raid that killed one of the world’s most wanted drug traffickers, known as “El Mencho”.
Schools were closed in several Mexican states, and foreign governments warned their citizens to stay inside after the drug lord, whose real name is Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, was declared dead on Sunday.
The 59-year-old cartel leader was killed during a shootout after the Mexican military attempted to capture him in a raid supported by intelligence from Washington. The US has been pushing its southern neighbour to take more aggressive action against groups trafficking fentanyl, methamphetamine and cocaine.
Nice to see the CIA is still doing its job of preventing South American countries from becoming too stable or democratic.
And this wild conspiracy speculation is based on…?

Yes, yes, om sure the CIA is fucking evil and they’ve overthrown many governments and commit sabotage on a regular basis
None of that means that the CIA had anything to do with this violence.
Having lived through multiple of these violent events in Mexico, this is not a revolution in progress. Mark my words, the worst is behind us, and within a few days this will be utterly go e.
I can tell you this has more to do with the Narcos being fucking violent organizations that are reacting with revenge for their leader.
