The ongoing war between the Sinaloa Cartel factions led by “El Mayo” Zambada and “Ivan” Archivaldo Guzman has reached a new level of intensity, with both sides resorting to public smear campaigns and accusations of betrayal.

According to online discussions and reports, flyers are being distributed throughout Culiacan, the Sinaloa capital, targeting “Los Chapitos,” the sons of imprisoned Sinaloa Cartel leader Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman. The flyers accuse the Chapitos of betrayal and corruption, highlighting their alleged extortion of businesses and using the Sinaloa military for personal gain. They also urge the public to provide information on their whereabouts.

“This war is not just about territory,” states one online comment, “it’s about money and power. The Chapitos are squeezing Culiacan dry, and the people are tired of it.”

The authenticity of these flyers remains unconfirmed, but their circulation reflects the deep animosity between the factions. Some online users, particularly those perceived as supportive of the Chapitos, dismiss the flyers as propaganda, accusing the Zambada faction of attempting to manipulate public opinion.

Meanwhile, reports from Mazatlan, another major city in Sinaloa, suggest that “El Mayo” Zambada’s forces have been successful in securing the city, while the Chapitos have retreated to areas further from the main cities. Some reports even claim that the Chapitos are hiding in the United States.

The conflict is marked by a growing distrust among the public and the rampant spread of rumors and speculation. The situation in Sinaloa remains tense, with both sides employing ruthless tactics to gain control. The outcome of this war remains uncertain, but it is likely to have lasting ramifications for the region and the drug trade.
