Of Drugs and War


My latest article for The International was just published. Did you know there's a new law in Mexico that will pay the families of drug war victims up to $70,000? With over 65,000 victims in six years, this is already a multimillion dollar law, and from where the money will come is still pretty unclear.

Also, the drug war is still pretty contentious. A lot of effort has been put in my both the Mexican and American governments, but cartels are still committing grisly murders, transporting drugs, and creating a lot of violence. So will this law help?

  1. Sarah! Your article is amazing, and the way it was written is phenomenal! I sound like a broken record, but you are just so talented.

    On another note, t's so sad to read about all the bad going on...especially the drug wars. Sometimes my husband and I talk about what we think would somehow make it better, but I really just don't know. I had no idea about the new law until you brought it up. I'm like an ostrich with its head in the sand...
