As the Iguala case finally received attention from the world press, a full week and a half after the shootings and mass kidnappings, the White House has addressed the issue by asking for Mexico to conduct “a transparent investigation”.
"This is an alarming crime that demands a full, transparent investigation," said US State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki. The next part of the the statement depicts how little the US knows of who is responsible and how deeply embedded organized crime control is in Guerrero, Psaki continues "The perpetrators must be brought to justice."
In a case where the president of Mexico has shown no interest in, and in fact cancelled a planned trip to Guerrero last week, it will be interesting to see how he reacts to foreign pressures, if he reacts at all.
OAS Secretary General Jose Miguel Insulza called for "the clarification of the murders that have brought grief not only to the Mexican people but to all the countries of the Americas."
