In a dramatic twist to the ongoing drug cartel wars in Mexico, a violent clash between two factions of the notorious Sinaloa Cartel has escalated into a brutal battle for control, culminating in a shocking new alliance. The sons of infamous drug kingpin Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, also known as Los Chapitos, have reportedly joined forces with the Jalisco Nueva Generación Cartel (CJNG), a fearsome rival group led by Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera.

The revelation comes after weeks of intense bloodshed in Culiacán, the heart of the Sinaloa Cartel’s empire, as the rival factions of Los Chapitos and La Mayiza—led by Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada—have been locked in a bitter conflict. Violence has exploded throughout the region, with daily reports of murders, kidnappings, armed confrontations, and street blockades as both sides fight for dominance.
