ViZIHtando Guerrero Bronco

The Costa Grande of Guerrero awoke this Thursday to alarming news of violence between rival criminal gangs in Técpan de Galeana, the municipio just south of our neighbor Petatlán. Due to this and other circumstances, I strongly discourage anyone from traveling down the coast beyond Papanoa for the time being until things simmer down.

A person I know was supposed the see a physician from Acapulco in Zihuatanejo this Monday. The appointment was cancelled because it was deemed too high risk for the physician to travel because of reported violence in both Técpan and Coyuca de Benitez.

We are coming up to the Days of the Dead, a time when many people travel to visit cemeteries where departed are buried. I wonder whether this will limit peoples’ ability to commune as usual.
