Mescal Mexico

Since, I will be in Mexico for the Summer and since I have decided to write my thesis on US-Mexico border security. I will devote my next three-month's worth of posts solely to Mexico's security situation and related news events.

I don't have much to report now, but I'm thinking my thesis may cover ways in which the US and Mexico can collaborate to greater enhance security. Since, of course, security is a blanket term that covers many things, so will these posts.

This story from May 16th alleges that prison guards helped 53 dangerous inmates affiliated with the Gulf Cartel escape from a prison in Zacatecas (central Mexico). Eerily parallel was Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman's -leader of the Tijuana Cartel - escape from another Mexican prison in January 2001.

  1. Wait, wait. Are you expecting us all to write about US-Mexico issues? I'm going to keep contributing about all things security related, mister. You can't stop me.
