A group of indigenous women in Mexico contacted the most sadistic cartel leaders, not the authorities or the government, asking for help from the country's deadly quartet violence. The women asked cartel bosses to protect them from local bosses who were carrying out kidnappings, murders, and extortion in their communities.
In this video, a group of Huichol women from rural Jalisco state, wearing masks, call out to Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera, the leader of the Jalisco New Generation cartel. They asked the cartel boss to protect them from one of his lieutenants, a man known only as El Rojo. The women claim that this cartel figure is behind numerous crimes targeting innocent locals. In the video, the women were wearing masks and feared El Rojo would come after them for exposing themselves. The women allege that El Rojo used police officers to extort local residents and levy taxes on ranchers, small businesses, and even the city's mayor.
“We have never felt so dangerous, so helpless, so vulnerable,” one of the women said in the video.
The women claimed that El Rojo was behind the disappearance of indigenous people from their communities, but the government refused to investigate the incident.
“We learned in many ways that you did not give such inhumane instructions,” the woman said. “Before this terrible situation, we would like to ask for your New Year's gift from us to get rid of this despicable thief and bandit named El Rojo. We would kill him with our own hands, but unfortunately we don't have it.”
The video comes as Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador refuses to fight drug cartels in his country, insisting he is pushing social programs rather than law enforcement. Ta. The approach, colloquially known as a “hug, not a bullet,” has drawn widespread criticism from the international community for Mr. López Obrador and raised suspicions of corruption and cartel ties from his opponents.
