What the Arrest of El Chapo Means for Mexico

Even as Mexican drug kingpin Joaquin Chapo Guzman had a $5 million reward
on his head, his name could be heard in dozens of so-called drug ballads,
played from Guatemala to the U.S. border, and especially in his home state
.

The detention was celebrated by Mexican and U.S. officials as a mighty
blow against the drug cartels, whose infighting and wars with the army and
police have left more than 70,000 dead in Mexico since 2006. This is the
most significant arrest of a drug trafficker in decades, Mike Vigil, the
former head of international operations for the DEA, told TIME. Chapo
Guzman was definitely the biggest trafficker in Latin America, and in my
opinion in the world.
.
However, on the streets of many Mexican cities that have been wracked by
violence, people wondered what repercussions the arrest might bring. It is
like time has stood still, journalist and author Javier Valdez said by
phone from Sinaloan state capital Culiacan. There is a feeling of
uncertainty, a worry of what could come next. Valdez, who has chronicled
the lives of Sinaloas drug world in several books, said that some in the
state see Guzman as the hero celebrated in their songs. A lot of people
here have no faith in politicians or the system that gives them nothing.
Chapo is seen as a success story.

With the arrest of Guzman, there is concern that junior lieutenants could
fight to take over the Sinaloa cartel empire. The cartels second most
powerful figure Ismael Mayo Zambada is a veteran trafficker in his
sixties, who is believed to have distanced himself from the cartel wars of
recent years. Zambada is trying to avoid arrest himself, so it will be
hard for him to exert control, Vigil said. Another fear is of rivals
pushing into Chapos territory. The Zetas, whose territorial bloodshed has
reportedly left mass graves with hundreds of bodies, have long fought the
Sinaloa Cartel. Another Sinaloan trafficker Hector Beltran Leyva has waged
war with Guzman, leaving piles of severed heads and bullet ridden bodies
in Sinaloa. People are scared about more violence breaking out, of what
reaction the cartels will have, Valdez said.
.
But the Guzman arrest boosts President Enrique Pe Nieto, who can claim to
have acted where his predecessors failed. Guzman escaped from a Mexican
high security prison in 2001 under then President Vicente Fox. Guzman then
evaded capture throughout the rest of the Fox presidency and stayed on the
run during six years of President Felipe Calderon, even as the government
waged a military offensive against traffickers, sending thousands of
police and soldiers to Sinaloa state.
