Civil unrest increases as Mexican government fails to provide answers

  • 10 years ago
Civil unrest is on the rise as Mexicans refuse to buy what their government is selling. 43 days have passed since 43 rural teacher's college students from Ayotzinapa were kidnapped by Iguala police tied to the criminal gang Guerreros Unidos. A Friday press conference announcing that the students had been victims of a mass murder offered no solid forensic evidence and ended abruptly when the country's attorney general said "I'm tired." The president, who is away on business in the Orient sent messages of peace, and took protesters to task. Mexico's people are fed up and want answers and accountability, and from the looks of it, this protest movement has just begun. Clayton Conn reports from Mexico City
