The case of the 43 students missing from Ayotzinapa, Mexico, is connected to the "historical inequality" in Guerrero state, undersecretary of human rights Roberto Campa Cifriän said. The brutal deaths were a wake-up call for Mexico, which has long struggled to address issues such as poverty and corrupt law enforcement, Telesur reported.
"It is certainly necessary to understand the social disintegration of those communities," Campa told La Jornada in Spanish in an interview published Monday. "All of these elements came together to generate such a brutal tragedy with huge implications for everyone, for the government."
...In the interview, Campa said he plans to change the subsecretariat so that it can better handle cases like the Iguala kidnappings. He also wants to work with experts from the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights.
