Mexico poet Javier Sicilia leads anger at drug violence: ""Ihave to show my face for my son's dignity, for all the sons who have died in this battle and those who will die in the future," Javier Sicilia says. ...
"What this war has done is allow the corruption of institutions which had been taking place for years to emerge, but leaving those institutions completely defenceless to face organised crime." ...
For Mr Sicilia, the conflict has reached a level that requires a more comprehensive approach to the issue - one which includes the commitment of all Mexicans.
"We need a national pact because this is an emergency, and we have to rebuild the tissue of this nation - if we do not, we are going to enter hell.""
The MexicoBlog of the CIP Americas Program chronicles and analyzes U.S. and Mexican news reports on the US-backed War on Drugs in Mexico and the struggle in Mexico to strengthen the rule of law, justice and protection of human rights. Relevant political developments in both countries are also covered.
