The Associated Press: US Cable: Mexico feared losing control to narcos: "A top Mexican official said late last year that he had a 'real concern' Mexico would lose control of parts of the country to drug traffickers, and the military proposed declaring states of emergency in some cities, according to U.S. State Department cables leaked to WikiLeaks and posted online Thursday. ...
Officials describe in an Oct. 28, 2009 cable from the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City a proposal by Mexican Defense Secretary Gen. Guillermo Galvan Galvan to suspend some constitutional rights in several cities, including Ciudad Juarez, across the border from El Paso, Texas, that is considered one of the most violent in the world as a result of warring cartels."

The MexicoBlog of the Americas Program, a fiscally sponsored program of the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR), is written by Laura Carlsen. I monitor and analyze international press on Mexico, with a focus on security, immigration, human rights and social movements for peace and justice, from a feminist perspective. And sometimes I simply muse.
