Mexican officials are once again criticizing Ceci Flores, who searches for the bodies of people who have disappeared and are presumed to have been kidnapped and murdered. She typically searches in areas known to be places where drug cartels dump bodies. The problem is that she is too successful in finding those bodies, undercutting the government's claims to be searching for them and its efforts to downplay the scope of violence and kidnapping in the country. After her latest find, prosecutors initially claimed she'd found dog bones before admitting she'd found human remains, but they then acc...

By Amanda Langell After losing the Concacaf Nations League final to the United States back in March, Mexico are eager to begin their Copa America 2024 campaign and hunt for more international glory. The last time Mexico competed in the Copa America, they suffered a devastating 7-0 defeat against the future tournament winners, Chile, in the quarter-finals of the Copa América Centenario. El Tri were not included in the 2019 edition of the tournament, and only CONMEBOL teams competed in the last Copa America. Copa America 2024, though, features six CONCACAF teams who successfully qualified for th...

By Amanda Langell The worst Copa America 2024 kits belong to both CONMEBOL and CONCACAF teams that debuted boring, hectic, or just downright bizarre designs. As the days until the first match of the Copa America 2024 tournament slowly tick down, players are preparing to take the field wearing their country's badge on their chest. Although soccer remains the focus of the competition, each nation's kit always draws extra attention from viewers. Of course, not all designs can be as iconic as Argentina's white and blue stripes, but some of the 2024 Home kits are, let's just say, underwhelming. Her...

By Daniel Rook Mexico (AFP) - La première femme élue présidente du Mexique, Claudia Sheinbaum, dont l'écrasante victoire dimanche pourrait être officialisée ce week-end, est confrontée à deux défis de taille: la relation avec les Etats-Unis et la pression des marchés. La candidate de la gauche au pouvoir, élue avec près de 60% des voix selon les résultats partiels, attend les élections de novembre aux Etats-Unis pour savoir avec qui elle va gérer une relation bilatérale d'une intensité sans pareille (commerce, drogue, migration). "Elle a deux plans: l'un avec (le président démocrate sortant) J...

Mexico City (AFP) - A landslide election win will embolden Claudia Sheinbaum, Mexico's first woman president, to defend her country's interests in sometimes-tense relations with the United States dominated by trade, migration and drugs, experts say. While the president-elect is expected to be more diplomatic in public than her sharp-tongued predecessor Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, known by his initials AMLO, in private it could be a different story. The left-wing former Mexico City mayor apparently plans to be "a tough opponent" for Washington, said Duncan Wood, an expert at the Mexico Institu...

That day after all the commercial, media, and marketing paraphernalia, when the campaigns are over, when people are kept up at night checking the Preliminary Electoral Results Program (PREP), by means of which the election results are confirmed, for the trauma or pleasure of the voters. The day after tomorrow came and we met it calmly. The main news story became a reality: #HabemusPresidenta, with all the implications ...

Jacumba Hot Springs (United States) (AFP) - Freddy Sanchez and his family walked for days under a scorching sun, crossing into the United States less than 24 hours after President Joe Biden announced new rules aimed at shuttering the border. "Even if they say they will close the borders, they will never be able to shut them," said Sanchez, who arrived Wednesday to claim asylum. Sanchez, 37, said he and his family had travelled for weeks from their native Guatemala, and heard about changes at the border on Tuesday, the day the measure was signed. "I thought about it and I got discouraged. But I...

Addressing cheering crowds, the 61-year-old ruling party candidate thanked the "millions of Mexican women and men who decided to vote for us on this historic day." Maria Fer...
