  1. Violence In Cd. Juarez An Alternative By: Danny Lopez Victor Salcido Jeremiah Licon

  2. An Alternative • We will examine: • Demonstrate the importance of bringing awareness to this crucial problem • Similar Colombian Situation • Violence in Cd. Juarez • The severity of the situation • Scrutinize the futile efforts: • Mexico • United States • Provide an Alternate Solution • Why this will work

  3. Violence In Cd. Juarez • Cd. Juarez, Chihuahua: Population close to 2 million • The largest city in the state of Chihuahua • ..and the 5th largest city in all of Mexico • In 1995 it wasn’t easy to buy cocaine in Cd. Juarez, because the cartels kept a lid on it. • Now the city has up to 100,000 addicts according to local clinics. • 50% of the kids you call High School kids, neither go to school nor have jobs. • 40% of young males in Chihuahua want to become “Sicarios” [Professional Killers] • We’ve created something so bleak that crime and murder is actually, a rational way to live.

  4. Violence In Cd. Juarez Mexico’s Outlay On Drug Cartels

  5. Solutions Proposed • We believe it’s in the United States’ best interest to take a more active role • Not only financial assistance • Assistance of manpower • Intelligence • More Advanced Technology

  6. The Colombian Situation • Similar events took place in Colombia • Colombia’s drug war elicited by • Drug Kingpin Pablo Escobar G. • Colombian officials demonstrated • Impotence • To an exhaustive extent

  7. The Situation • Violence in Cd. Juarez has reached an epidemic status Evidence: • Shoot-Outs • Helicopters • Massacres • Drive By’s • Bullets have strayed to El Paso • Abductions • Make Public Statements • Leads to Death (Decapitations) • Car Chases

  8. Violence In Cd. Juarez • U.S. has provided Mexico with millions of dollars to halt the trafficking of narcotics from trespassing our borders • The Pentagons massive request of $1.4 Billion • The Aid Package will consist of $40 million this year • But all of this has amounted to little more than nothing and a very bleak distant future. • Every drug is more available in this country, than it was 40yrs ago • Higher quality • Cheaper • Mexican Govt. is deceitful in the information it reveals • “One of the lies Michelle Obama is told is that 90% of the dead people are drug people or dirty” • 2nd thing she is told is that we’re wining the war on drugs

  9. Violence In Cd. Juarez • All this has lead to Major Terror • 1st Signs that all this is only getting worse • Circumstances Never before seen and used ( Juarez ) • Car Bombings • Grenades • Advanced Weaponry • Army Artillery • Bazookas • Machine Guns

  10. Violence In Cd. Juarez • All this has lead to require the utmost consideration • Alike the Colombian situation • In Cd. Juarez • Now having occurred 4 Yrs. Ago • Mexico erupted with heinous bloodshed

  11. Violence In Cd. Juarez • This has created ethos • It has turned all the medias attention • Radio • Newspapers • Television • Press Conferences • Internet • Social Networks • Cell Phones • All this has managed to cross borders.

  12. Violence In Cd. Juarez • Publications done in regards to the current events • In the book “The Cartel” Author Charles Bowden Declares • “The escalation of the drug war in Cd. Juarez is an exact replica of the events that transpired in Colombia in the City of Medellin in the 80’s” • Which indicates the progression of the violence which will inevitably require some form of martial law

  13. Violence In Cd. Juarez Solutions Previously Presented • As has been evident the Mexican Governmenthas attempted such resorts Implementing: • Local Police • State Police • Federales • National Services • A.F.I. • Army • Mexican Government • Including modifications to the law • Increasing security measures • Road Blocks • Checkpoints

  14. Violence In Cd. Juarez Additionally • This solution while farfetched has proven to be the most viable in the past. • Homeland security is optimistic but warns not to expect a “V-Day for the war on drugs” in the next 5 yrs. • U.S. Government manages techniques better • The Merida Initiative: U.S.-Mexico Countered Drug Cooperation • This is why this will work unlike everything else that has been attempted.

  15. Violence In Cd. Juarez What were seeing is a slaughterhouse and its escalating. In the manner that Pablo Escobar’s reign came to an end… we cant help to think that if Mexico would allow the U.S. a more active role… it might lead to a more promising outcome. Charles Bowden States: …Given the drug wars cross border nature, any long term strategy must include the U.S. As the old adage goes “desperate times, calls for desperate measures”
