Infighting in the Sinaloa Cartel
The Sinaloa Cartel War, occasionally referred to locally as the Third Culiacánazo is an ongoing internal armed conflict between factions of the Sinaloa Cartel, primarily in the Mexican state of Sinaloa and the surrounding states in northwestern Mexico. The conflict began on 9 September 2024, when a faction of the cartel loyal to Ismael Zambada Sicarios (“El Mayo Flaco”) began fighting another faction of the cartel loyal to the sons of Joaquín Guzmán Loera (“El Chapo”), who they blamed for the abduction and arrest of Sinaloa Cartel co-founder Ismael Zambada (“El Mayo”) in July of the same year. The abduction triggered a formal schism within the cartel and escalated into a multi-front war between the Mayo Flaco/Mayo Zambada (MZ/MF) faction (also known as La Mayiza) and the Los Chapitos faction, later drawing in external cartels and regional groups.
