Mexican Drug War

The Mexican Drug War is an ongoing conflict between the Mexican government and drug trafficking organizations, which began around 2006. It involves violence, corruption, and power struggles among rival cartels for control of lucrative drug markets. The government's efforts to combat these cartels have led to intense clashes, resulting in a high number of casualties, including civilians. The war has also exacerbated issues like human rights abuses, displacement of communities, and increased lawlessness in certain regions. The situation is complex, influenced by demand for drugs in places like the U.S. and issues related to poverty and governance in Mexico.
