A narco announcement from Los Aliados (the allies) to Jalisco
In a video, the Los Aliados give a narco announcement sent to the citizens of Jalisco.
In the recording that lasts about three minutes, more than 20 heavily armed men are seen with their faces covered. The men are members of the group Los Aliados, a new group of drug trafficking in Mexico.
In the video, four men are sitting on a table, others surrounding them. One begins to read an announcement where he states that the group Los Aliados has arrived to Jalisco to bring an end to the members of the Cartel Jalisco New Generation (C.J.N.G), which are accused of extorting innocent citizens.
Hanging is a banner that reads: “Los Aliados for a Safer Jalisco”
Narrative:
"People of Jalisco, this is an announcement to give notice that Los Aliados are here to clean and remove all scourge, extortionist and kidnappers of the State of Jalisco that work for El Mencho.
We are tired of the fees that they charge innocent people, merchants, and all of the people that are being extorted by the people of Mencho".
We are saying that Los Aliados are people of Jalisco, we are united to support the town and to finish the war that El Mencho and his collaborators created.
That is why we ask the society to stop cooperating with El Mencho. Our objective is not to kill innocent people, but to finish with all scourges of C.J.N.G and El Mencho, for a safer, peaceful and stable Jalisco
The objective of us, Los Aliados, is to see a totally changed and free Jalisco, so do not give money that is the result of an honest job to the collaborators and scourges of El Mencho.
To all the merchants we ask and we tell you to stop giving fees to El Mencho, all of you can count on the support of Los Aliados.
We are here in Jalisco to end the killing of innocent people. C.J.N.G murders daily with the purpose of having the society of Jalisco terrified, to extort, (fees) and sell their drug obligatory.
No more extortions, fees and kidnapping; that is why we are her to remove El Mencho and his scourges.
To all the Federal and State authorities, we demand you to do your job like you should, since we are going to do ours: which is to clean Jalisco from all the scourges. For a safe and free state and that is why we demand authorities to do their job like they should.
You count on our support, since we know that you are pressured by C.J.N.G, this war is not against Jalisco or its authorities, is against El Mencho and his scourges. That is why we inform all the kidnappers, extortionists, that are members of the C.J.N.G and collaborators that we, Los Aliados, are here in Jalisco to clean and finish the C.J.N.G. We inform you that all who want to align will be welcome with your friends Los Aliados".
