Violence exploded in the western state of Michoacan following a shift in alliances that saw bitter rivals join forces to take on another criminal organization that passes itself off as a self-defense group to get help from police and military forces.The violence began last week when factions of Los Viagras Cartel and others announced that they would be joining Cartel Jalisco New Generation to take on a criminal organization led by Juan Jose “El Abuelo” Farias, known as Cartel De Tepalcatepec.
Los Viagras is a criminal organization that, in its origins, identified itself as a self-defense group. The cartel was part of La Familia Michoacana and a rival of CJNG but has since joined forces with its rivals to fight El Abuelo’s organization. The group is currently led by Nicolas “El Gordo” Sierra Santana and his relatives.
Despite the assurances from the Michoacan government, the violence is expected to continue since both sides are trying to control lucrative cocaine routes into Mexico from the Pacific coast, as well as drug production areas used to manufacture large quantities of synthetic drugs.
