MEXICO-CENTRAL AMERICA: Flurry of activity to combat child migrant crisis
Mexico’s President Enrique Peña Nieto is taking a decisive role in responding to the humanitarian crisis produced by the surge of unaccompanied child migrants to the US, mostly from Central America’s so-called 'Northern Triangle' (El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala). Peña Nieto is taking concrete action to address the crisis, employing his preferred formula of appointing a federal coordinator under the overarching control of the interior ministry (Segob) for the southern border region, just as in the troubled western state of Michoacán earlier this year. Its success this time, however, depends not just on cooperation between federal and state governments but between different national governments.
