This event happened in Texcaltitlán which is located in the Central State of Mexico causing a lot of fear and rage regarding the increased violence affecting Mexico.

Tensions boiled over finally on Friday afternoon in Texcaltittlán, where cartel-linked armed men entered the scene. Video footage shows villagers bearing machetes and hunting rifles confronting the gunmen dressed in military garb equipped with automatic guns.
However, there was a fierce fight which followed with the sound of the guns in the quiet town. This made the villagers pursue their attackers, caught some of them while burning their cars, and killed several. Nevertheless, there was a loss of four of the villagers on their side during the war.
Local authorities and residents have widely condemned the incident. The governor of the State of Mexico, Delfina Gómez, has promised to arrest those responsible for her brother’s death and intensify security.

Understanding the Context: A Closer Look at the Familia Michoacana
Among the numerous law-breaking enterprises operating within Mexican territory is La Familia Michoacana which is commonly referred to as The Familia Michoacana or simply The Family. The organization has its headquarters in Michoacán and Guerrero, the states where it operates extensively on illegal actions like drug trafficking, kidnappings, extortions, and murders.
Extremely brutal group, accused of killing scores of civilians and opponents. They mostly employ the use of intimidation and violence making society fear and not trust them.
The presence of Familia Michoacana in Texcaltitlán had not been known but their participation in the recent clash reveals that cartel activities are spreading all over and that it has become a hazard across Mexico.
Moving Forward: Addressing Violence and Seeking Justice
This brings back memories of how serious violence is, and that it is time to do something about it in Mexico. Although the government’s attempt is appreciated, it has to be strengthened and collaborated among other government offices to fight the power and reach of these criminal syndicates.
Safety and peace in Mexico can be fostered if they invest in community development programs, strengthen their law enforcement agencies, and promote social justice.
Moreover, it should be ensured that those who are involved in violence are held to pay and justice served to the families of the innocent. However, only joint efforts of the state and society will make it possible to fight against organized crime to create better prospects for Mexico’s citizens.
