Culiacán’s Peace March Amid Cartel War | Global News

Thousands flooded the streets of Culiacán in a powerful, white-clad march for peace—marking the grim second anniversary of a brutal cartel war that’s claimed lives and shattered communities. Fueled by grief and desperation, families carried photos of lost loved ones as they demanded an end to violence between rival factions of the Sinaloa cartel. The conflict, ignited after a top drug lord’s arrest and a bitter power struggle within the cartel, has unleashed waves of terror: ambushes, shootings, hijacked trucks set ablaze, and over 5,000 shuttered businesses. Organized by victims’ families, local leaders, and even the Catholic Church, the protest culminated in a bishop’s impassioned plea: no wealth or power justifies taking a human life. Amid this chaos, the state governor faces mounting scandal—accused of collusion with cartels by U.S. prosecutors—and has already stepped away twice from his post amid political firestorms.
