SAA event in Mexico on Mon 22nd December 2025

The Frailesca region of Chiapas awoke this Friday under renewed tension following the appearance of multiple threatening messages signed by the Sinaloa Cartel (CDS).

Furthermore, a video circulating on social media shows CDS members hanging a banner and executing a member of the Chiapas and Guatemala Cartel in Tacaná, San Marcos, Guatemala.

The banners, placed at strategic points in the municipality of Villaflores and near the "El Amate" prison, represent a direct challenge to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) and its armed wing, the Chiapas and Guatemala Cartel (CCyG).

This incident marks a new chapter in the bloody territorial dispute that has kept Mexico's southern border in a state of constant alert for the past four years.

During the early morning hours, armed groups hung banners with threatening messages in highly visible locations, causing alarm among residents and prompting a response from federal forces:

Jesús María Garza Community: In the central park of this rural area, a banner proclaimed that "Villaflores has an owner," issuing a direct challenge to the subordinates of Juan Manuel Valdovinos Mendoza, alias "The Lord of the Horses."

"El Amate" Prison: Near the State Social Reintegration Center for Sentenced Persons No. 14, another similar message was found in which the Sinaloa Cartel (CDS) warned of its intention to take control of the prison and "hunt down" its rivals, whom they labeled "cowards."
