During these first days of the year 2022 in Mexico, more specifically referring to the day of January 5th, the mexican authorities captured Ovidio Guzmán . Ovidio is son of probably the most known mexican Narco, Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzmán . The operation to capture Ovidio caused the wrath of El Cartel de Sinoloa , so blockages and shootings all around Culiacán and the near cities started.
The blockages are from big objects obstructing the way to cars and trucks in fire, this is making impossiblesthe circulation of cars and people. At the moment, the goverment ordered the civilians to remain in their homes and avoid the streets . No one knows when this situation may end, but the violence is going from bad to worse.
Recently an airplane landed in the Culiacan's airport to move Ovidio Guzmán to other place, the aircraft was received with gunshots from the Cartel de Sinaloa . The airport's workers went into hiding, but it seems the shooters had their attention in the aircraft that was landing. Ovidio was succesfuly moved to another location, but a commercial airplane was involved in the attack. Right now the operations in the airport are temporally cancelled as well as the flights with destination to Culiacán and near places.
The civilians in Culiacan cant do anything more than remain in their homes and try to defend themselves and their properties from robbers and looters. The Guardia Nacional was deployed to the zone and one police officer has died at the monent with 27 injured. It is very likely to have a resolution of this situation if Ovidio is released as happened in 2019 in the first Culiacanazo, a popular idea of what is happening is that the operations was made to better the relationship with the US government. Whatever is happening or the real influence for the start of the operation, all Mexico is expecting dor the best to happen with all our brothers and sisters from Sinaloa.
