Ten Years Later, Families of Mexico's Missing Ayotzinapa Students Continue Fight for Truth

Despite promises and investigations, the fate of the 43 students remains unresolved, fueling ongoing protests and demands for justice.

On the 10th anniversary of the Ayotzinapa students' disappearance, families and supporters held protests in Mexico City and San Diego, demanding answers and accountability.
The initial government investigation under President Enrique Peña Nieto was discredited due to evidence of torture and manipulated findings, leading to widespread mistrust.
Current President Andrés Manuel López Obrador initially promised transparency but has since been criticized for protecting the military and failing to deliver concrete results.
International bodies like the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and the United Nations have expressed concern over the lack of progress and persistent cover-ups.
The case remains emblematic of systemic corruption and violence in Mexico, with over 115,000 disappearances nationwide, highlighting the ongoing struggle for justice and accountability.
