The Drug War in South America: Synonymous of Terror

Since a long time, we know that there is a war in south America between different gangs. For example, in Mexico gang or fighting for territory or gang traffic.

It’s a war that began a long time ago with the born of the drug sellers. At the beginning of 2009, about 36,000 military and police personnel, including 8,500 in the city of Juárez alone, fight against about 100,000 members of the Mexican drug cartels and their paramilitary units.

Then during the following years, they used medias or social medias to impact young people. They tried to do recruitment for their gangs. You can see on social medias the apology of drug sellers, weapon and gang signs.

The most known for violence terrorism and war is “El Chapo” Joaquin Guzman.

Gang-related violence is once again reaching unprecedented levels in Mexico. It is really the scourge that devours this country as big as three times France, 125 million inhabitants, the second largest economy in Latin America. After peaking about ten years ago, the cartel war had calmed down a bit, but in the last two years it has started again. Just one figure: nearly 35,000 gang-related homicides last year in Mexico. That’s a record. And this year, it started at the same pace, with more than 20,000 deaths already. That means an assassination every quarter of an hour.

Those numbers show that war gang in Mexico or South America are terrorism.

By using money and social medias we can say that drug war is a fictive and realistic war
