On Sunday, 10,000 demonstrators dressed in white protested against violence in the state of Sinaloa, Mexico. Participants carried signs with the message "We don't want any more deaths," expressing the desperation of the local population.
The protests were directed against the violence caused by the Sinaloa drug cartel, which has been terrorizing the region. In just two years, the conflict between cartel factions resulted in approximately 3,000 deaths in the state.
Sinaloa is one of the states most affected by drug trafficking in Mexico, home to one of the most powerful criminal organizations in the country. The violence between different cartel factions has intensified in recent years, causing terror among the civilian population.
The large number of participants in the protest demonstrates the growing public outcry for security in the region, where residents live daily under the threat of criminal violence.
