Yesterday, community members from Xalpatláhuac, San Luis Acatlán, and Tlapa blockaded the road in front of the federal court building in Acapulco to demand the release of five members of the community police who were arrested by the National Guard last week.
Mexico's National Guard detained five members of the community police [distinct from the ACAB variety] from the Indigenous community of Xalpatláhuac, Guerrero last Monday.
"These acts of repression and persecution are neither isolated nor spontaneous, we consider that they are part of a governmental strategy of persecution against Indigenous and Afro-Mexican peoples who exercise our self-determination and autonomy to provide security, justice and re-education in our communities and to make our territories a space of peace and harmony for our people."

Really, though, what an absolutely beautiful place Taxco is. Fantastic vacation spot. Bonus pan de muerto!
Presidenta de #México ofrece ayuda a los afectados por el huracán John en #Guerrero
https://www.telesurtv.net/presidenta-de-mexico-ofrece-ayuda-a-los-afectados-por-el-huracan-john-en-guerrero/
"In #Guerrero, the worst-hit state and one of #Mexico's poorest, 18 people were killed, according to local media, many due to mudslides that crushed houses.
#HurricaneJohn rapidly strengthened into a major hurricane on Monday before tearing into Guerrero. It dissipated then reformed offshore and for the rest of the week skimmed the coastline north, bringing torrential rain and floods."
Konsum der #Droge Fentanyl zerrüttet die indigenen Gemeinden Mexikos
In den Bergen von #Guerrero stellt der zunehmende Konsum von #Fentanyl und anderen synthetischen #Drogen eine immense Herausforderung für die indigenen Gemeinden dar, warnt das Menschenrechtszentrum #Tlachinollan. Die Abhängigen sind häufig #Kinder und #Jugendliche. Die Drogen würden auch in Süßigkeiten beigemischt, die von Gruppen der organisierten #Kriminalität an #Minderjährige verkauft werden, um sie süchtig zu machen. "In einigen Fällen hat dieser versehentliche Konsum bereits zu Todesfällen durch #Überdosis geführt", schreibt Tlachinollan.
Das wahre Ausmaß des #Drogenproblems wird oft erst spät erkannt. Der "Regionale Rat der Agrarbehörden zur Verteidigung des Berggebiets" (#CRAADET) hat zwar erste Treffen organisiert, auf denen Maßnahmen beschlossen wurden, um das Fentanyl-Vertriebsnetz in der verarmten Region einzudämmen. Doch über die Drogenproblematik zu diskutieren, ist nicht ungefährlich, da das organisierte #Verbrechen die Gemeinden infiltriert hat. Die lokalen Behörden zögern, gegen Kriminelle vorzugehen, da sie dadurch zur Zielscheibe von Gewalt werden.

I was born in #Mexico to US Citizens who where there working for a U.S. computer computer company. We left when I was 3 or 4.
My faintest and earliest memories are of the music and smells (strange right?!) of #Jalisco and #Guerrero
As an American I don't think I could go back now because of #narcos and the risk of #kidnapping
A shame. really
