The photos of small children bearing rifles in the southwestern state of Guerrero were the latest shock to a Mexico that has become increasingly accustomed to troubling news after two years of record levels of violence, LA Times reported. The images, which showed around 20 children doing military style drills, emerged days after 10 local musicians were murdered by suspected cartel hitmen in Chilapa de Alvarez, one of the most violent municipalities in Guerrero. During 2019, it's estimated that 90 people died each day in Mexico from cartel-related homicides. Drug gang violence has been so bad in Guerrero that thousands of residents have fled remote communities across the state and now live as internally displaced persons. The Mexican government says more than 61,000 citizens are missing - the vast majority of them victims of the country’s grinding war with powerful drug gangs that have grown more violent.
