Chilpancingo, Gro. The Indigenous and Popular Council of Guerrero-Emiliano Zapata (CIPOG-EZ), denounced that drones flew over several communities in the municipality of Chilapa de çlvarez on Sunday night. In a press release issued on Sunday, it was reported that "at approximately 22:30 hours, drones flew over the CIPOG-EZ communities of Mezcaltepec, San Gernimo Palantla, Nuevo Amanecer, Colotepec and Cuamuutepec". These flights generated "fear in the population, because as you know, narco-paramilitary groups have attacked our communities and others in this way, launching explosives from drones. Between 17 June and 27 June, our communities of Tula and Xicotln experienced 10 days of continuous attacks with firearms and explosives launched from drones". He stressed that "on 20 August, just one day ago, in Buenavista de la Salud, two grenades were thrown at the community police base in Valle de Ocotito". We hold "the government of the state of Guerrero responsible for any attack that may occur, as 'Los Ardillos' continue to terrorise our communities with all the indifference and complicity of the bad government", he concludes.
