Twitter Demonstration in Ciudad Juarez Mexico

The Anger, Pain, and Restitution March, in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico; just across El Paso Texas, was organized through social networks, like Twitter. The kids won't take it anymore!

If you read Spanish, you can follow this blog.

S.O.S. Juárez

From La Jornada:

"Los manifestantes rechazaron la manera ineficiente con que se ha manejado la seguridad de esta urbe fronteriza, en la que, a pesar de la presencia de casi 10 mil militares y policías federales, se han cometido unos 5 mil asesinatos en los dos años recientes."

My translation:

Marchers rejected the "inefficient way" with which security of this border town has been managed, where despite the presence of almost 10 thousand soldiers and federal policemen, 5 thousand murders have been committed in the last two years.

Sounds like Afghanistan: doesn't it?
