The recent discovery of 20 bodies, several decapitated, underlines the severe and escalating violence in Sinaloa, Mexico, amidst a brutal turf war between rival drug cartels. This violent episode includes four headless corpses found on the roadside and several bodies inside an abandoned vehicle. The conflict is largely fueled by factions vying for control over lucrative drug trafficking routes, especially for fentanyl, destined for the U.S. Notably, the violence escalated following the July arrests of cartel leaders, indicating the turmoil in the region's criminal underworld.
The violence in Sinaloa is mainly driven by rival drug cartels battling for control over narcotic production routes and has resulted in over 1,200 deaths.
Reports indicate that rival factions linked to Joaquin El Chapo Guzman and Ismael El Mayo Zambada are responsible for gruesome incidents reflecting the ongoing turf war.
