Sheinbaum’s visit comes less than a year after Hurricane Otis, a Category 5 storm inflicting billions of dollars in damage to hotels and other properties when it struck on Oct Acapulco had barely recovered from last year when Hurricane John struck last week and unleashed a year’s worth of rainfall in four days leading to floods and landslides that compounded previous damages were unable to work due to damage along the coast Vendors in areas such as Puerto Marqués and Majahua beach who sell goods like seafood souvenirs and crafts saw their livelihoods shattered by the storm He said that in Puerto Marqués (a municipality about 10 kilometers south of Acapulco) two sinkholes have damaged the main avenue He and others expressed fear that they won’t be able to reopen in the coming weeks you can help us!” one woman from Tierra Colorada whose business was ravaged by the storm shouted at Sheinbaum as she passed Sheinbaum did not fully tour the most damaged areas but flew over regions including the municipality of Coyuca de Benítez — which is inland of the coast but has a river of the same name running through it — and the Diamante area Amid the unrest, Sheinbaum also warned about the arrival of tropical depression 11-E, which has begun bringing heavy rains and winds to several western Mexican states. It was also announced that classes at schools throughout Guerrero have been suspended due to the new storm At a private meeting at the Icacos Naval Base in Acapulco with Salgado and Michoacán Governor Alfredo Ramírez Bedolla Sheinbaum discussed long-term recovery plans and emergency support to meet more immediate needs Underscoring the gravity of the situation, also present for the meeting were several ministers from Sheinbaum’s cabinet: Marcelo Ebrard (Economy) Admiral Raymundo Pedro Morales (Navy chief) David Kershenobich Stalnikowitz (Health) and Josefina Rodriguez Zamora (Tourism) “We are leaving instructions with the National Water Commission [Conagua] and the Infrastructure, Communications and Transport Ministry (SICT) to expedite aid,” Sheinbaum posted on her Facebook account. Sheinbaum committed to another meeting on Thursday to continue assessing damages and coordinating a support plan to ask federal authorities to provide them with assistance ADVERTISE WITH MND COMMUNITY GUIDELINES Subscription FAQ's Privacy Policy Mexico News Daily - Property of Tavana LLC MEXICO CITY — Delivering water in Iztapalapa for the past 13 years has put Jesús Martínez on the wrong end of a gun barrel more than once Sometimes when the taps run dry in this hardscrabble borough at the heart of Mexico City’s water crisis desperate residents — or thieves on the make — reroute tanker trucks at gunpoint to meet their needs “It’s basically a kidnapping,” Martínez told AQ Others illegally tap wells outside the city and fill unregulated tankers themselves Stolen water of dubious quality can serve neighborhoods in need or be sold at a premium to meet demand especially during a drought or when the city’s system is under repair water service in Iztapalapa is a contentious issue Almost 15% of the borough’s 1.9 million residents say they lack regular access to piped water where Martínez was recently sent for a delivery residents complained of their water being shut off for months on end Water enters Mexico City from the west and loses pressure as it makes its way through the borough’s eastern sprawl shifting ground soil means pipes are prone to break and difficult to maintain The metropolitan area of over 21 million people has grown by around 100 square miles since 2010 “Having this pressure on the water system puts people’s lives at risk,” Jorge Arriaga Medina executive director of the National Autonomous University of Mexico’s water research network “And low-income communities are the most vulnerable.” throughout Latin America and the developing world it’s the poor who pay the highest price for water scarcity and mismanagement are the least likely to have regular access to public water systems meaning they sometimes pay 10 to 20 times more for water in absolute terms than their rich counterparts Free government-provided filling stations offer some relief but not enough to cover residents’ needs The water that does reach poor communities is often untreated or of low quality driving the health problems that make poverty that much more difficult to overcome waterborne illness impacts thousands of people every year tainted water is the number one killer of children between ages 1 and 5 The public tanker service that provides many residents in Iztapalapa with water to shower wash dishes and prepare food is offered free of charge But families that rely on it conserve and reuse much more than their share While rich neighborhoods in Mexico City consume between 800 and 1,000 liters of water per person per day according to a report from the city’s human rights commission Even as poor communities conserve what little they have the aquifer that provides Mexico City with more than half of its water is being drawn down twice as fast as it’s being replenished experts say it could hold out for about 40 years But the city’s water drama has already begun The bundles of black cable that crisscross the streets of Tierra Colorada look like the overhead TV and electrical wiring seen in much of Mexico City A community of mostly informal houses clutching the side of the Ajusco volcano Tierra Colorada is home to one of Mexico City’s most complex public policy challenges — and a different kind of irregular water use of the 2,000 or so families living here have access to the public system and much of the neighborhood is inaccessible to tanker trucks Previous governments started building infrastructure to provide piped water about a decade ago but residents say they’ve never seen a drop (That hasn’t stopped some from receiving bills for the service.) Hanging tubes carry water to most Tierra Colorada residents residents in Tierra Colorada rely on a self-installed system of tubes to draw water from makeshift wells dug a mile or more up the mountain Organized groups contribute money and manpower to maintain the wells cisterns and faucets that provide their homes with enough to get by “The little that comes out we have to be careful with,” resident Alicia Cruz told AQ I use the same water two or three times to wash clothes and then I use it again for the bathroom.” Ajusco means “where water blooms” in native Nahuatl But changing weather patterns have even made bootlegging more difficult Hiking up the mountain to clean his group’s well one recent morning Angelo Guzmán pointed out dry gullies that in normal years would have overflowed with water The well itself was little more than a muddy puddle around his boots Of the 311 liters per person that enter Mexico City’s water system on a given day around 134 go unaccounted for — lost to leaks Officials say if they could just reduce the amount being lost it would go a long way toward reducing daily water stress Past administrations have put money into new infrastructure but failed to invest sufficiently in technology to help them understand the system and quickly find and repair leaks There’s hope that may change under Claudia Sheinbaum an environmental scientist who became mayor last year say that improving real-time monitoring of the system is a top priority Sacmex’s 6 billion peso ($300 million) budget is twice what it was in 2018 The new administration is also working with a local NGO on plans to install 10,000 rainwater capture units in Iztapalapa and elsewhere by the end of the year In September the government reduced water pressure for much of the city due to lack of rain again making theft — and finding water — an urgent concern “Nobody is going to oppose the idea of water as a human right,” said Arriaga “But making that a reality is something else entirely.” Russell is a senior editor and Mexico City correspondent for AQ Reading Time: 4 minutesBenjamin Russell is a writer based in Los Angeles and Mexico City Americas Quarterly (AQ) is the

and searching homes after one of their leaders was killed Several opened fire on a car of Mexican tourists headed to the beach for Easter week Members of the area's self-described "community police" say more than 1,500 members of the force were stopping traffic on Wednesday at improvised checkpoints in the town of Tierra Colorado, which sits on the highway connecting Mexico City to Acapulco They arrested 12 police and the former director of public security in the town after a leader of the state's vigilante movement was slain on Monday A tourist heading to the beach with relatives was slightly wounded on Tuesday after they refused to stop at a roadblock and vigilantes fired shots at their car The vigilantes accuse the ex-security director of participating in the killing of their leader Guadalupe Quinones Carbajal on behalf of local organised crime groups and dumping his body in a nearby town on Monday because here criminals operate with impunity in broad daylight We have detained the director of public security because he is involved with criminals and he knows who killed our commander," said Bruno Placido Valerio Placido said vigilantes had searched a number of homes in the town and seized drugs from some They turned over the ex-security director and police officers to state prosecutors who agreed to investigate their alleged ties to organised crime The growing movement of "self-defence" vigilante groups has seen masked townspeople throw up checkpoints in several parts of southern and western Mexico stopping passing motorists to search for weapons or people whose names are on hand-written lists of "suspects" wanted for crimes like theft and extortion The vigilantes have opened fire before on motorists who refused to stop slightly wounding a pair of tourists from Mexico City visiting a local beach in early February kidnappings and extortions carried out by drug cartels but concerns have surfaced that the vigilantes may be violating the law or

a look at one of the dark periods of Paraguayan history at the Museo de las Memorias (free) Housed in an unremarkable building that was once a center for detention and torture by the Gen Alfredo Stroessner dictatorship (1954-1989) but the photos and instruments of torture — whips tools for pulling out fingernails — speak for themselves as does the ugly evidence of American collusion In the back are the cells where prisoners were kept with horribly realistic “bodies” wrapped in rags Parked at the entrance is a red custom Chevrolet the car used to bring detainees to police stations and detention centers — a symbol of fear Labyrinthine alleys crowded with stalls selling counterfeit sneakers toys and anything else you might ever need: This sprawling market the Mercado Municipal (known as Mercado Cuatro) staffed by women cutting the kernels off cobs of corn or peeling garlic and smoky food stalls serving grilled sausages Stop at one of the tables covered in bundles of fresh and

beer on draft from the local Sajonia brewery (which makes a great Indio ale) and friends share plates of fried yucca and sausage sandwiches Many of the 25 food trucks serve Paraguayan beef in various
