MEXICO: Government pulls army out of Ciudad Juárez
The Mexican army started to pull out of
Ciudad Juárez on 15 September. Only a day later, on the Independence Day public
holiday, did the government issue a statement confirming the change of strategy.
It did not explain why it had suddenly pulled the army off the streets of Ciudad
Juárez and out of operations in the state. The only reason it gave for the
change was that 1,182 municipal policemen had now completed their retraining
under the military and were therefore ready to resume work.
