The relatives of disappeared persons in the border strip between Michoacán and Jalisco, known as “Death Corridor”, assure that they are no longer seeking justice or those responsible for what happened to their loved ones: they only want to find their bodies.The alerts were lit in the Lerma-Chapala region on June 17, as well as the hope of families to find their disappeared.That day, personnel from the Michoacán Attorney General's Office (FGE) confirmed the discovery of the first human remains buried in a property known as Los Negritos.At that point, in the part corresponding to the municipality of Villamar, between the FGE and the Attorney General's Office (FGR) so far they have exhumed 28 bodies.Of these victims, 11 have been identified and, of them, eight have already been handed over to their families.Three were from Jiquilpan, including a woman.One more victim, a man, was from Sahuayo.Another person was a resident of La Barca, in Jalisco, and two more were from the State of Mexico.Isis del Rocío Macías Gracián is a young woman victim of violence in the region.Her brother Jesús de Ella was kidnapped and murdered.On September 19, 2019, several men deprived him of his liberty and demanded a ransom.The family paid, but Jesus did not return.“That's where the ordeal begins, which lasted approximately five months.On February 12, 2020, the people who took him away were located and captured by the state prosecutor's office," says Isis.“Once arrested, the criminals give their statement and say what they did with my brother.They had already killed him.They told us where he was and we recovered the body.”During the time that her brother was missing, she and her family started the search alone;later the prosecution supported them.The pain that Isis experienced led her to make a decision that she would not have imagined before: “I decided, out of empathy with the relatives of other victims, that I had to continue the search, but now for other people in the region, so that they would not be alone”.Isis calculates that in the Lerma-Chapala region — made up of 18 municipalities — there are more than 2,000 missing persons.For this reason, she created the collective San José Cahro: En Busca de Ángeles, precursor of the search in the area and recently in Los Negritos.She also estimates that there are approximately 500 people secretly murdered and buried on that property."Unfortunately, it will not be possible to rescue all the bodies that exist, because the property is located in a geothermal, semi-volcanic zone," she says, and also warns of the risk of reprisals from the crime.Isis recounts that with everything and fear, a year and a half ago the members of the collective had planned to enter that place to look for bodies.“But suddenly we were barred from entering.Later, as a group, that concern grows and we try to enter through the different entrances that are in that property, ”says Isis, although she admits that insecurity forced them to stop for a moment.“Already in the last few months, society reached a point of exhaustion and began to take over roads, to demonstrate to say enough is enough!, and that was when they turned to see us.”As a result of their search brigades and pressure from the families on the authorities, excavations began on June 17.The extensive property is located at a vertex made up of the municipalities of Villamar, Sahuayo, Jiquilpan, Venustiano Carranza and Tangamandapio.It is an ecological park that many years ago was a recreation center for the inhabitants of that area of ​​Michoacán bordering Jalisco.Local authorities explained that in Los Negritos there have been bodies buried for seven or eight years, since the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CNJG) began operating in that area.Recently, the division between internal groups of that criminal organization that Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes founded, 'el Mencho', catapulted the violence.Intelligence areas explained that the split of the CJNG and the fight of one of these groups with United Cartels have triggered the crimes.The dispute in that area of ​​Michoacán is between the criminal cell commanded by Heraclio Guerrero Martínez, 'Tío Laco', against the Pajaros Sierra bloc.'Tío Laco' is identified by the federal authorities as one of the people closest to 'Mencho'.Pajaros Sierra is a cell that abandoned the CJNG and among its leaders is Abel Alcántar Vallejo, 'el Toro', 'el Viejón' or 'el Sierra 8'.The break in the ranks of the CJNG moved to some municipalities in the state of Jalisco, such as Mazamitla, where there are recurring clashes, but the situation intensified three years ago in the "Death Corridor" strip, when the CJNG declared the war against the former self-defense groups.Read: Three people are murdered in Mazamitla, Jalisco;one more was injuredThe consulted authorities said that the criminal cells commit murders, kidnappings and extortions and they disappear their victims.Since May 4, 2020, Saraí knows nothing about the whereabouts of her sister, a 21-year-old girl who was kidnapped from a party, when she was accompanied by her son.The four-year-old boy returned to her house alone and that set off the alerts of Saraí's family, who immediately went out to look for her.Saraí narrates that her sister had gone to the birthday of one of her friends and, during the time she lived with her, a truck with heavily armed people took her out of the party.When her relatives arrived at the place, there were no longer any of the attendees, although the neighbors told them what had happened to her sister and another woman of hers.For Saraí, these two years and two months have been exhausting, sad, full of uncertainty, not knowing where her sister might be.She says that she has already lost faith that she is alive, but with the discovery of the first confirmed bodies in Los Negritos, hope was opened to recover her body."I am sure that my sister's body is buried in that clandestine place, because witnesses say that the van in which they took her went to that place," she says.“What we want is to recover her body;to have a place to take flowers from her, a place to bury her, a place to mourn her, and a place where my sister can rest.”Saraí asks the FGE, the FGR and the security forces not to stop tracking and recovering bodies in Los Negritos.An inhabitant of the municipality of Venustiano Carranza lives a triple hell, she says, having a son, a nephew and a brother disappeared in that same area.The day laborer — who requested anonymity for security reasons — believes that his loved ones are buried in Los Negritos.Armed men took his son on December 24, 2019;Later, one of his brothers and a nephew, son of the second victim, were deprived of their liberty.He says that his son went to the municipal seat of Venustiano Carranza to cut his hair, when a criminal group entered the premises and took him away.In the case of his brother, armed men entered his home while he was sleeping and deprived him of his liberty, on April 22, 2021. Around 4:00 in the afternoon, his nephew was taken out of the vehicle in which he was traveling and also deprived of his freedom, when he went to work.Since then, the day laborer knows nothing about them, he only has hunches: "My son is buried in Los Negritos, because the truck that picked him up headed for that place, all the people he saw when they took him told us.""In the case of my brother, due to the data that has come out of the bodies, he may also be there in Los Negritos, along with his son."Through tears, he points out: “They leave one dead in life.I tell the authorities to put themselves in our shoes, because they don't know what it feels like when they unfairly take them away from us."Despite this, the villager assures that the families will continue looking for their loved ones "from top to bottom", since it is the only way they are going to rest.Meanwhile, the search in Los Negritos continues.Only in that place, groups and the dog of a canine binomial have detected nearly 100 points where there is the possibility of buried human remains.Faced with this panorama, the families insist: “Let it be clear that we are not seeking justice or the guilty;only the bodies of our victims.”Dozens of Chinese cities are under partial or total confinement these days, after a new surge in coronavirus cases in the Asian giant that threatens the authorities' controversial "Covid zero" strategy.Due to the spread of the omicron variant, Shanghai, with 25 million inhabitants and a vital weight for the country's economy, is suffering the worst wave since the one that originated in Wuhan more than two years ago.But this Chinese metropolis is not only a global financial center, it is also one of the most important freight ports for international trade.In 2021 it accounted for 17% of China's container traffic and 27% of China's exports, and has been the world's largest port for the past 10 years.However, the confinement to which the city is subjected makes it difficult for the trucks that have to take the goods by road or distribute them to nearby factories to arrive.Many, like Volkswagen or Tesla, had to stop their activities.“The restrictions mainly affect the roads that arrive and leave the port, which results in a accumulation of containers and a 30% reduction in productivity,” explains Mike Kerley, investment manager at the firm Janus Henderson.Added to this is the shortage of port workers who process the necessary documents for ships to unload their merchandise or inspect it previously.The first problem is the boats are piling up off the coast and in the channels around the port waiting for the green light.VesselsValue data demonstrates how waiting times for tankers, bulk carriers and container ships have risen steeply.The second of the problems is that thousands of containers are piling up in the port, once again putting the global supply chain in check just when analysts were confident of its recovery after what happened during the pandemic.The European Union Chamber of Commerce estimated that there were 40% to 50% fewer trucks available.And less than 30% of the Shanghai workforce could return to work.Under the measures imposed by China in this new wave, everyone who tests positive for the virus, even if they have no symptoms, must be quarantined in centralized facilities where many people have complained of poor conditions.And while the world's largest container port remains operational, experts say it is becoming increasingly clogged.The main products exported through Shanghai include washing machines, vacuum cleaners, solar panels, electronic components and textiles.“Temporary shortages could be apparent for these products, as export through Shanghai accounts for 30% to 50% of China's total exports of these products,” Janus Henderson's Kerley said."Containers are piling up in the port of Shanghai," he told clients Ocean Network Express, a Japanese container shipping and transportation company.“The situation has not improved since our last update on April 6.Road transport is still limited and the terminals are still congested, while the connection capacity of the refrigerated area is still very tense”, the company stated.The world's largest shipping company Maersk also issued a statement this week saying "several ships will skip the port of Shanghai on their routes" due to a shortage of available container space.The global consequences will not wait: strained supply chains, slow flow of imports and a rise in inflation.“There is a lot of concern that exports will be affected and of the inflationary impact in the world, including Latin America, which is a great trading partner of China,” says Alicia García-Herrero, chief economist for Asia Pacific at investment bank Natixis.“Because the capacity of the port is not the same as it was in March, nor in February, it will take some time to figure all that out.Even if the city's confinement were to end tomorrow, there is a backlog in capacity that will not be resolved quickly," Rodrigo Zeidan, professor of Economics and Finance at NYU Shanghai, told BBC Mundo.“Inflation will be here for a while.Prices for many goods will take some time to stabilize," Zeidan added.For their part, Bank of America experts believe that the most severe impact is likely to be seen during the month of April.“Although the authorities have already noticed the problems and have begun to take measures in recent days […] it is likely that these interruptions will spread throughout the world within 3 to 6 weeks and last at least until the end of the second quarter”, they affirm in a report.The effect in Latin America can be twofold, Zeidán believes.First in terms of economic activity, he says, since even if there is demand from China for all the raw materials it imports from Latin America, the shipments will not be easy to make.“This is already happening.Shipping rates are staying absurdly high for a long time and prices are actually going up.”And second, inflation will go a little higher than where it is now.However, several of the experts consulted believe that considering the importance of the port of Shanghai for China's trade, the restrictions are unlikely to last long.And that the Government does everything possible to return to normality as soon as possible.For Zeidan the situation should improve by mid-May.He remembers that you can receive notifications from BBC Mundo.He downloads the new version of our app and activate them so you don't miss our best
