“Sol Prendido” for Borderland Beat

Just last night the Cartel del Noreste (CDN) released a horrific video where they removed a captives face and heart as well.

Today they have decided to release a video as if this were a prank or some kind of joke. The Cartel Del Noreste sends a message to Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO) in which they say they are united for peace in Mexico. 

They also mention that they are united or allied with the Cartel del Golfo (CDG) of Matamoros, Tamaulipas. 

After all the innocent people that have been kidnapped and killed in Tamaulipas, Nuevo Leon and Coahuila, etc. Now these cynics from the CDN or formerly Zetas want to unite for peace.

Video translation is as follows:

Mr. President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, in response to the statement you gave to your press radio on May 30 of this year for the petition of the Searching Mothers of Sonora. In which they requested a truce from the groups or cartels, among others the CDN. This organization wants to state that in response to their petition that they should assume responsibility and behave as good citizens, not get lost, or think that they have no other option or another way. There is always a way out for those who don’t want to use violence.

In this sense, this organization responds to their call for a truce and joins it without this in any way signifying weakness. If not that we seek peace and well being in Mexico. We are all Mexicans. We also have mothers, fathers, children, brothers and sisters, we are human. We want to tell you that regardless of your call we have spoken with the CDG (Cartel del Golfo) Matamoros division and we are currently in peace talks with them and are on the same channel.

We are aware of the underlying problem, since 2000 to date, violence has been on the rise in the country. We know that it’s a problem that you inherited and it surpasses eras. And we are willing to do our part. Above all we are Mexicans and parents of families and we want peace and security for them. We are not afraid of anyone nor is this weakness. But in a moment of clarity thinking as Mexicans, the entire population can benefit from a transitional justice law and a justice of peace. So that the people of Mexico can finally live with the peace and tranquility they deserve.

That is why now in response to the call of the Searching Mothers of Sonora and with your approval we ask you as the highest authority of the country and supreme commander of the armed forces. What the legal mechanisms will be so that we as groups can have the certainty and security that the agreements and peace truces will be respected. Which person from your government do we have to talk to or our legal representative have to speak with. Without further ado, we look forward to hearing from you and send you our best regards.

Sincerely, your trusted servants from the Northeast Cartel.
