Ministerial Police found the bodies of 11 youths on a dirt road that connects the county seat of Chilapa with the population of Ayahualulco, very close to a security guardhouse belonging to the preventive police.

The discovery was reported this morning (November 27), even though there were reports of at least two different confrontations in the neighborhood of La Villa, near the preparatory school #26.  The criminal groups reported to be involved in the clashes are “Los Rojos” and “Los Ardillos”.  “Los Ardillos” are reported to be directing the brothers of the president of the local Congress, and the local PRD congressman Bernardo Ortega Jiménez.

The bodies belonged to men between the ages of 20 and 25, all of them receiving R-15 and AK-47 shots.  According to official reports, the victims were lying on the shoulder of the road, decapitated, dismembered, and burned.  Other reports say that some were doused in fuel but were unsuccessfully incinerated.

Even though the clashes were reported to be on the evening of the 26^th, the bodies didn’t appear until dawn and had a message from one of the organized crime groups operating in the area.

The message read: “There goes your trash ha ha ha…Fucking Ardillos shitty turncoats.  Atte. The big shot.”

Heading towards Santa Catarina, a military patrol arrested a civilian who was carrying firearms and grenades.

Flesh-eating maggot disease surfaces in Syria

Saturday, 29 November 2014

U.N. health experts have noted three cases of myiasis near Damascus, marking the first appearance of the flesh-eating maggot disease in Syria, AFP reported.

Myiasis, an affliction caused when flies lay their eggs in wounds, is not lethal for humans, but its appearance says a lot about worsening living conditions in war-ravaged Syria, the World Health Organization said.

It has already issued an alert about the reappearance of polio in the north of the country, where tuberculosis, typhoid and scabies have again become endemic.

"Three cases of myiasis, otherwise called screw flies, were reported on Nov. 19 in Syria," WHO spokesman Christian Lindmeier told AFP on Friday.

The cases were spotted in Douma, a rebel bastion northeast of the capital held by a Salafist group, which has been under government siege for more than a year, with residents facing dwindling food and medical supplies.

"This disease is not so much a danger in itself, but should rather be seen as an indicator for very bad water supply, sanitary and hygienic, as well as socioeconomic circumstances in besieged and hard-to-reach areas," Lindmeier said.

He pointed out that neighboring Damascus, which usually has a daily supply of around 350,000 cubic meters of water, "has lost two thirds of its drinking water supply.”

The U.N. health body said it was launching a hygiene promotion and water rationalization campaign in Syria in a bid to help people avoid behaviors that can lead to myiasis and other water and hygiene-related diseases.

The multi-sided Syrian conflict has killed more than 195,000 people since it began three and a half years ago as an uprising against President Bashar al-Assad's regime.

11 Headless Bodies Found in Southern Mexico

CHILPANCINGO, Mexico – Police found the headless bodies of 11 young men Thursday on the road between Chilapa de Alvarez and Ayahualulco, two towns in the southern Mexican state of Guerrero, prosecutors said.

The bodies, which appear to have been burned, were dumped in the road after a shootout Wednesday night between rival gangs, Guerrero Attorney General’s Office spokesmen told Efe.

The Los Rojos and Los Ardillos gangs have been fighting for control of the illegal drug trade and other criminal activities in a section of Guerrero.

Two clandestine graves containing 13 bodies were found nearly a month ago in Chilapa de Alvarez.

On Sept. 26, 43 students were detained by police in Iguala, a city in Guerrero, and handed over to the Guerreros Unidos drug cartel, which allegedly killed and burned them to cover their tracks.

Former Iguala Mayor Jose Luis Abarca Velazquez has been linked to the disappearance of the 43 education students.

Abarca was arrested on organized crime, kidnapping and murder charges.

The politician and his wife, Maria de los Angeles Pineda Villa, were arrested by the Federal Police on Nov. 4 in Mexico City.

Pineda is being held in preventive detention so prosecutors can gather more evidence in the case.

The couple fled from their house on Sept. 30, four days after Iguala municipal police officers opened fire on students from a rural teachers college.

Six people died, 25 were wounded and 43 students disappeared in the incident.

The search for the missing students has turned up numerous clandestine graves in the state.

President Enrique Peña Nieto plans to plans to deliver an address to the nation on Thursday to announce new security and judicial measures to end the wave of protests over the disappearance of the 43 education students.

The students’ disappearance has sparked protests across Mexico.

ICE Refuses to Halt Deportation of Immigrant Who Could Qualify for Relief

TUCSON, Arizona – Immigration and Customs Enforcement authorities in Arizona on Wednesday denied the request of a Mexican to halt his deportation proceedings, despite the fact that he could be one of those who would benefit from President Barack Obama’s executive action giving relief to millions of undocumented foreigners.

Francisco Perez Cordova, the father of five U.S.-born children and husband of a woman who benefits from Deferred Action, will not be able to leave the church where he has been given refuge for more than 60 days to prevent a deportation order from being carried out against him.

“I feel content because the day is approaching when I’m going to leave, but at the same time I feel sad because the person in authority who must decide my case is not doing so, although it would take him no time at all,” Perez Cordova told Efe on Wednesday.

He added that he has been in the church for 64 days and has not been able to work, and it pains him when his children ask how long they are going to be separated.

Despite the fact that Perez Cordova could be a beneficiary of the immigration relief provided by the president’s order last week, local ICE officials informed his lawyer that they have not received any directive from the Homeland Security Department to grant suspensions of deportations proceedings for possible beneficiaries.

However, Perez Cordova’s attorney Margo Cowan displayed the memorandum sent by DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson to ICE directors, the Citizenship and Immigration Services and the Border Patrol in which he instructs ICE and Customs and Border Protection officials to “immediately” begin identifying people in their custody, and newly-encountered people, who meet the requirements and may be eligible for deferred action to prevent future deportations.

“We’re asking for a document, a letter that approves the request to halt the deportation, for them to close the case, something in writing so that Francisco may leave (the church) with proof that his deportation order is no longer in effect,” Cowan told Efe.

She said that this reveals a serious risk for hundreds of immigrants who have not sought sanctuary and have deportation proceedings pending against them because if immigration authorities in Arizona are not following the DHS directives these undocumented foreigners could be detained and deported.

ICE spokesperson Lori Haley told Efe that “as always, decisions on discretionary proceedings must be handled on a case by case basis based on the case itself and an exhaustive review of the specific facts.”

Perez was granted sanctuary at the United Methodist Church in Foothills on Sept. 25 after lived for almost a year in fear of being deported.

His difficult immigration system began in 2009 after his family were the victims of a crime they reported to the Pima County Sheriff’s Department.

According to Perez, instead of investigating the crime against his family, sheriff’s deputies reported him and his brother-in-law to the Border Patrol. For three years, Perez fought his case in court, but bad advice by his counsel left him on the verge of being deported.

Students and Teachers Block Mexican Highway to Protest Disappearances

CHILPANCINGO, Mexico – A group of students and teachers blocked the Highway of the Sun in Chilpancingo, the capital of the southern Mexican state of Guerrero, to mark the two-month anniversary of the disappearance of 43 education students in the city of Iguala.

The protesters arrived at the Parador del Marques around 11:00 a.m. and blocked the highway, which links Mexico City to the Pacific resort city of Acapulco, in both directions.

The majority of the students from the Ayotzinapa Rural Normal School and the members of the CETEG education union covered their faces and were armed with sticks.

Officials have tightened security in Chilpancingo in the past few hours and more Federal Police officers have arrived amid fears that the protest could turn violent.

On Sept. 26, municipal police opened fire on the young people, presumably following orders of the then-mayor of Iguala, Jose Luis Abarca, killing six people and wounding another 25.

That night another 43 students were detained by police and handed over to the Guerreros Unidos drug cartel, which allegedly killed and burned them to cover their tracks, according to the statements of three members of the criminal organization after their arrest.
