Overview

• Residents abandoned the rural district after threats, shootings and attacks tied to a territorial dispute between rival criminal groups.
• Commerce, the school, the church, health care and postal services are closed, and many domestic animals were left behind in the empty streets.
• Police say 24-hour patrols are operating with a fixed base in the former school and report only one recent homicide in the municipality unrelated to the district.
• State-led actions, including the Regnum Fractus operation, resulted in arrests and seizures as authorities assert they have restored control.
• There is no confirmed plan for social and economic recovery or a clear timeline for return, and estimates of how many people fled still vary across reports.
