WorldTwo years of Sinaloa cartel war leave Mexico’s Culiacán living in fear

Two years after rival Sinaloa Cartel factions began fighting, violence still grips the Mexican state despite 15,000 troops being deployed. Thousands have been killed or disappeared, more than 5,000 businesses have shut and 27,000 jobs have been lost. The conflict pits Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán’s sons against allies of Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada and has drawn in the governor, who is on leave amid US trafficking allegations.
