BBC Chiapas violence: Hundreds flee cartel battles in southern Mexico 23 Jan 2024

　…そりゃまあ麻薬や違法移民のルートなら押さえたいわなあ。しかし地域住民700名ほどが逃亡することに。

「Hundreds of people have fled their homes in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas as two rival cartels battle for control of the routes they use to smuggle migrants and drugs.

A local official said more than 700 residents had been displaced from their communities near the Guatemala border.

The Jalisco New Generation cartel (CJNG) is trying to wrest the area from the grip of the Sinaloa cartel.

Dozens of people have reportedly been killed in recent weeks.」

　どうもこの数週間で数十人が死亡した―ｔｐ…。
　そりゃあダメだ。

「Criminal organisations like the CJNG and the Sinaloa cartel have been infiltrating the region because of its proximity to the border with Guatemala and important transit routes for migrants, whom they extort, and cocaine-smuggling routes.」

「The military has been deployed to the region but locals say they are now getting caught in the crossfire when the security forces confront the cartels.」

　軍が入っても充分な対応ができず―って、ほんとに十分な対応をしようとしたら巻き添えがエライことになりそうですしねー…。
