Episode 127: The CJNG - Los Chapitos Alliance: What is it and What does it Mean?

In this Episode, I examine the CJNG - Los Chapitos alliance, particularly in light of the Chapitos' civil war with La Mayiza.   Specifically, I discuss reports on the formation of the alliance and the actions that led to its formation. I also look at how the alliance fits with the DEA's Nation Drug threat Assessment's CJNG analysis. Finally, I discuss some empirical evidence of CJNG's response to the CDS civil war, which further illuminate the motivations behind the Chapitos - CJNG alliance.
