A New War in Guatemala’s Northern Jungles

In this area of the jungle of northern Guatemala, inhabited mostly by poor families of Mayan Indians, the Army has declared a war against a powerful Mexican drug cartel known as Los Zetas. The area of Alta Verapaz, a key transit point for South American cocaine into the United States, was until recently a feared place where members of Los Zetas operated quietly in the streets of villages and cities without fear of being made by law. But on 19 December, the government of President Alvaro Colom imposed a state of emergency (martial law) in the area and sent 300 extra troops to try to restore the rule of law in this troubled area, near the Mexican border. In little over a month of operations, the military has earned the trust of the population. For now, it seems that the Zetas have left, abandoning their weapons in the jungle. The Government extended the emergency for 30 days, hoping to preserve the calm that returned, although it is possible
that the Zetas are just lurking, waiting for a chance to try to resume their activities in this area.
