Browsing: Mexican Cartel War

El Mencho was supposed to be untouchable—until February 22 proved the opposite. What followed wasn’t just an operation, but a shift: tighter coordination, faster pressure, and a cartel world retreating underground. CJNG now faces its hardest test—succession. If “El 03” holds, the machine runs. If he falls, chaos hunts the throne.

One flimsy FGR letter turned a Sinaloa kingpin’s safe house into a target. My sources say a senior woman inside Durango’s Fiscalía quietly handed over the address of la casa de los Remedios, home turf of Los Cabrera, just as their Mayo-aligned faction drifted from protected asset to collateral in the war with the Chapitos–CJNG FEU bloc.

According to individuals inside the Cabrera organization, the war for Zacatecas has allegedly ended after six years of fighting. But from what I’ve heard inside CJNG, Mencho doesn’t retreat. The real question is whether his people have shifted north into Durango or further toward Juárez with their allies.

CJNG, Los Chapitos, Cárteles Unidos, and NCDJ — once rivals, now stitched together in what’s being called The Super Alliance. The banners are real. The war has changed shape. What began as betrayal has turned into strategy, blood, and business. And it all started long before the mantas appeared.
