Mexico Looks To Save Face In The Wake Of Being Left Out Of the El Mayo Operation (8/9/24)

The Epstein Chronicles

The recent arrest of Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada by U.S. authorities has significantly impacted both Mexico's internal dynamics and its relationship with the United States. Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has called for calm among the drug cartels, urging them to avoid escalating violence in response to Zambada's capture. Despite his appeal, the Mexican government has deployed additional military forces to Sinaloa, anticipating possible conflicts between rival factions within the Sinaloa cartel.
This arrest has also strained the diplomatic relationship between Mexico and the U.S. The Mexican government was reportedly unaware of the operation until it was completed, which has led to internal criticism and speculation about the circumstances surrounding Zambada's capture. There are conflicting accounts, with some suggesting Zambada was betrayed by Joaquín Guzmán López, the son of El Chapo, while others claim he was forcibly kidnapped.
The situation remains tense, as the Sinaloa cartel, which has been a major player in Mexico's drug trade, may experience internal power struggles following the removal of such a key figure. The outcome of these developments will likely influence the broader geopolitical landscape in Mexico and potentially lead to further violence if the cartel's leadership cannot stabilize.
Now, Mexico is attempting to save face after the operation seems to have been conducted without their knowledge or their consent.
