Ciudad Obregón, in the south of Cajeme, became the 31st city with the most violence in the world and has the dubious honor of having sneaked, also, among the 12 most violent cities in Mexico, all of them contained in the ranking of the 50 most violent cities in the world, prepared by the Citizen Council for Public Safety and Criminal Justice.
The case of Obregón, the second most important and populated city of Sonora with 339 thousand inhabitants, is reported with a rate of 48.96 homicides per 100 thousand inhabitants, a macabre statistic that rose in just one year eight points, because in 2016, when the municipal of Cajeme entered the ranking for the first time, there was a rate of 40.95 homicides per 100 thousand inhabitants, which reached the 41st place.
According to state authorities have explained, the problem of violence that Cajeme lives has to do with the dispute over the plaza between at least three drug trafficking organizations, which seek to use it for the transfer of narcotics, which during the previous months led to homicides in full daylight and in the heart of the city, which led to the setting up of a special operation of the National Gendarmerie, with the participation of the Army and the state and federal corporations, in support of the Municipal Police.
In Ciudad Obregón, 227 homicides were recorded during 2017.
In fact, Mexico as a whole was the most violent, since it went from having 7 cities in the ranking, to a total of 12 in the analysis of 2017, corresponding to Los Cabos, in Baja California Sur, the dubious honor of occupying the position, achieving a stellar premiere in the list, because previously that coastal city with high tourist profile did not appear.
Today, Los Cabos gained international notoriety because it has a rate of 111.3 homicides per 100 thousand inhabitants, being a small city with 328 thousand 245 inhabitants. In Los Cabos, in 2017 365 homicides were reported.
In the same order, Acapulco, Guerrero, appears as the third most violent city with a homicide rate of 106.6 per 100 thousand inhabitants. There, 910 malicious homicides were reported; It is followed by Tijuana, Baja California, which is number 5 with a rate of 100.77 and a thousand 897 murders.
La Paz, in Baja California Sur, also appears in the ranking as sixth place, with a rate of 84.79, for which it counted 259 deaths in that circumstance; Ciudad Victoria, in Tamaulipas, as place 8 with a rate of 83.32, place 12 was placed Culiacán, with a rate of 70.1, and in 20 Ciudad Juárez, in Chihuahua, with a rate of 56.16, followed by the capital of that State, in place 29, with a rate of 49.59; Ciudad Obregón follows, and the ranking closes in what corresponds to Mexico with Tepic, capital of Nayarit (47.09), Reynosa, Tamaulipas, (41.95) and Mazatlan, Sinaloa (39.32).
Mexico was crowned as the second country with the greatest problems of violence by cities in the world, with 12 ranking positions, since Brazil, with 17, was left with the first place; However, our country is above Venezuela, which has 5 cities, the United States has 4, Colombia has 3, South Africa has 3, and Honduras has 2 cities on the scale.
The average rate among the 50 cities for homicides is 59.71 per 100 thousand inhabitants.
According to the aforementioned Citizen Council, the problem is that in Mexico there is no action for the eradication of private militias that serve criminal groups, and it has also been allowed that impunity reaches the worst level of existence.
This has caused that in Mexico every 18 minutes there is a murder, accumulating 29 thousand 168 homicides in the country during 2017.
