Two years ago, Ark Republic talked about the newly elected, first woman president of Mexico. The biggest issue we cited was how she would handle the cartels.
When Mexico’s current president won a historical election, Dr. Sherice Janaye and Dr. Kaia Shivers talked about what was the legacy, and future problems for President Claudia Sheinbaum.
While she entered into office through a political stronghold, we talked about how violence, and in particular, the cartels and human trafficking would be a major issue.
Speed up, two years later, the killing of “El Mencho,” a Mexican drug lord and head of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel; and the subsequent clashes between the organized criminal network and the Mexican military point to exactly what Dr. Sherice Janaye predicted. Reports show tourists stranded, including U.S. visitors. As the cartel burn businesses and clash with government forces, the stability of the southernmost, North American country unravels like its U.S. neighbor.
