In the last 24 hours violence has resurged in the Mexican state of Michoacan. Six young men were abducted and killed by organized crime gangs in Ecuandureo; while in Morelia four people were killed and in Zamora today two brothers were executed.
In the first case, the Attorney General said that authorities managed to capture seven people who are accused of participating in the multiple murders; among them is a former agent of the judicial police in Michoacan.
The bodies of six young men were found in a plot, all of them shot at close range. The bodies already showed signs of decomposition, so it is presumed that their deaths were several days ago.
While in Morelia police have no clues about the murder of four men who were living together in a private home, where they were massacred.
In the city of Apatzingan an armed attack sent bursts of shots on a home, and grenades put a parked vehicle to flames. In Zamora, in broad daylight, two brothers were gunned down.
All this happened within hours after the attorney general, Joseph Martin Rangel Castro, reported that crime and violence in Michoacan had plummeted in recent months.
Also in recent days clashes were reported in the area of Infiernillo between organized crime gangs and police forces, following the death of drug trafficker Carlos Rosales.
All of this violence taking place in Mexico means that the nation is entering a civil war. These types of events are ones you would hear happening in Syria and Iraq, but they are occurring in Mexico. Mexico is on the brink on civil war. The cartels have already been fighting the militia army, Las Autodefensas. Now these self-defense armies are developing throughout Mexico. The righteous uprising began in Michoacan, and now you have militias in Guerrero, Sinaloa, Tamaulipas, Veracruz and they will continue to come about in other states. This is the restoration of the Cristeros, Catholic warriors who revolted against the anti-Christian government of Mexico in the 1920s and 30s.
This war will continue between the Autodefensas and the cartels, but ultimately it will be between the Autodefensas — the New Cristeros — and the biggest cartel, the Mexican government. I interviewed the o
fficial spokesman of the Autodefensas, Jorge Vasquez Valencia, to discuss the violence in Mexico and the noble uprising that every American needs to support:
