Women, children, the elderly, youth and adults did not endure the violence and insecurity in the Hot Land of Michoacan, so they decided to break free and abandon their homelands.
They left in stealth, in search of peace and a better future, they left their homes, their pets and their communities.
Entire families fled from the shootings, the kidnappings, the extortion; and also to prevent their children from being recruited by “La Maña”, as the criminal cells are called.
Priests of the diocese of Apatzingán publicly denounced that crime burns and shoots houses in the region when their demands are not met.
Five families from Tierra Caliente went to the State Commission for Human Rights (CEDH) to denounce that they had to leave their municipalities due to the insecurity generated by organized crime groups.
“The displacement of families is a phenomenon that exists in the municipalities of Apatzingán, Tepalcatepec and Aguililla”, admitted the regional visitor of the CEDH, Juan Plancarte Esquivel.
He recognized that people are afraid to go to the Commission to denounce the human rights violations of which they are victims.
In an interview, Plancarte Esquivel urged the three levels of government to work together to provide comprehensive care to families displaced by insecurity.
He came out in favor of creating a place where families who have suffered the attacks of crime in Michoacán can be with certainty.
There are no precise figures for the families that escaped from the Tierra Caliente region, because there are very few reports of the exodus due to fear.
Also, in the month of August of the previous year, in the municipality of Parácuaro, the crime generated an escalation of violence that caused people to emigrate from their communities, leaving “ghost towns”.
Regarding forced displacements, the municipal authorities refuse to testify for fear of reprisals from “La Maña.”
The Michoacan diaspora was mainly caused by the Jalisco New Generation cartel and The Viagra, who dispute the control of the traffic of methamphetamine, marijuana and poppy.
Both criminal groups have converted communities such as La Bocanda, El Guaje, Pizandaro, Cenobio Moreno, Uspero, Las Crucecitas, into fields of bloody battles.
In the opinion of the head of the Ministry of Public Security (SSP) of the state, Israel Patron Reyes, the violence generated by the crime “is because we are acting on them.”
He remarked that the joint work between the federation and the state of Michoacán “has allowed us to expand the security of weapons, stolen vehicles and the arrest of those likely responsible.”
“The operation is continuous and permanent against crime,” said Silvano Aureoles Conejo’s government official.
In contrast, the United States Department activated the travel alert against Michoacán due to the presence of organized crime.
In addition, he recognized that the US government has a limited capacity to provide emergency services to its citizens.
And even the trips of government employees from the U.S are prohibited or significantly restricted to Michoacan.
Government employees of Donald Trump they cannot travel between cities after dark and they cannot hail taxis on the streets.
