L Passo, Texas (Border Report– Most places in Latin America remain relatively safe for Americans to visit them. But travelers must be careful in three hot points, as gangs control the streets or drug gangs in war with each other.
This is the annual essence International risk assessment This week was published by Global Guardian Security, based in Virginia.
Foot position in Haiti is the biggest danger to foreigners or even the Haitians who return home to see their families. Gangs dominate large areas of land, including the cities where the population decides or laughs.
“Haiti is a failed country from many greetings,” Michael Palar, Intelligence Director of Global Guardian, said in the border report on Wednesday. “You need a large publication of employees to make a difference and allow the government to work properly there.”
The head of the Hayiti Transitional Presidential Council said that the violence has resulted in the displacement of more than a million people, and an innocent life mixes every day It became the contemporary “jealnica”.
Only this week, the United Nations Security Council has approved a resolution of a new security force of 5,500 soldiers and police officers whose mission is to suppress gang activity.
Venezuela is the next in the Global Guardian menu with a government claimed to be determined to suppress the opposition and is unable to curb corruption or stabilize its economy.
Moreover, the Maduro system is on the Trump administration scenes after the appointment of the Trin de Aragua gang as a foreign terrorist organization. The US military has detonated three Venezuelan boats that are allegedly heading to America with drugs and may be about to do more.
In response, Mawalon Maduro maintains gatherings in the streets and is training in the “resistance” of the immediate American invasion – and there are reports that their government is preparing to arm.
“These three air strikes on boats coincide with alleged members of Treen de Aragua, with a relatively large deployment of about 6,500 soldiers in the Caribbean.” “You have naval warships now for us, part of which is anti -drug operations, part of which sends a message to President Maduro, who sees the United States government to a large extent illegal.”
Palter said that the Maduro regime could be a decree to mobilize the population if the United States carries out open military action targeting Venezuela.
The only exception to national hostility is that foreign businessmen come to invest, contribute, or manage strategic Venezuelan interests such as the oil industry. These important characters are likely to get a very different treatment from other foreigners or the return of Ex Pats.
Mexico is the third country in the list and property that is more immediate.
President Claudia Shinbom insists that her country is safe and that the government, not the drug cartridges, controls. As if to prove this point, Shinbom visited on Saturday the city of Maztelan in a state in a state where Sinwa Cartel was broken and its factions in a war that left 2000 dead and 800 missing in slightly over a year.
“Mexico has a very interesting security dynamic. You can go to Mexico City and Montenery – relatively safe cities with minor theft issues and some violent crimes like any big city in the world,” said Balad.
Cartel’s strongholds in some cities and rural areas in Cenaloa, Michocan, Guangatato and other countries should be avoided due to the cardiac violence and the risk of reduction or extortion. There is no guarantee in places in Mexico, which is traditional, safe, that the cartals will not protest the arrest of a leader through kidnapping and setting fire to cars or public transport vehicles.
“The risks to travelers in other places such as the border, Sendo, Galisco, Michocan, are severe in many cases. Think of kidnapping the ransom or just side effects from some of the widespread fires that occur between the competing cartridges or inside the cartridges or if you have the law trying to perform surgery.”
The US State Department is maintaining a “Do not travel” consultant in Senalua, Tamolibas, Zakatikas, Michoan, Guerrero and Kulima. It also urges the Americans to reconsider traveling to Baja California, Chihuwa, Sonora, Guangeato, Durango, Galissco and Murletia.
In Tamaulipas, across the border from many cities in South Texas, “Organized criminal activity is common […] It includes arms battles, murder, armed theft, theft, kidnapping, enforced disappearance, extortion, and sexual assault, “the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Warning.
Bald said that violence in Tamaulipas – which includes Renosa’s border cities, Nuwevo Larado and Matoreus – has faded in recent months as the Gulf cartel has been divided into groups that retain some areas or “squares”. These groups include metro, hurricanes and scorpions.
Old Zetas is only the northeastern Cartel (CDN) and the old Zetas School still maintains the presence of the western Gulf gangs.
“These border cities are not safe in any way, but certainly there has been an improvement in the past years,” he said. “But we saw what happened with Cartel Sinaloa and how it can quickly turn into violence if there is a power vacuum if someone is arrested and delivered, and this tends to lead to more violence until things stabilize.”
