Thank you for your question.
To attract the support of the local population, the gangs normally try somehow to protect the population that was in their area. Over the past year, however, there was less and less consideration for the public during gang wars, especially in the unprecedented confrontations that occurred from May to July of this year. Members of the public, especially women, were gang raped in front of their families. Those acts were filmed and posted to social media to ensure a kind of control over the population in the areas of opposing gangs.
To address this problem, we need to control completely the areas that the police have been unable to enter for months, or even years, or at least to lower the high level of violence currently observed against women, men, girls and boys.
