Letter from Gabriel Zendejas on Recent Attacks in the Municipality of Urique, Chihuahua

Last week, acts of terrorism occurred in the Sierra of Chihuahua within the Municipality of Urique in Chihuahua state, where for more than a year, we have been living with criminal groups engaged in robbing and killing those who resist, without the authorities being able to stop them. Last week, the company Gold Corp., Mina El Sauzal suffered the kidnapping of two employees. The distributors from Sinaloa have cancelled deliveries due to the lack of security along the stretch of road from Choix passing through El Potrero and Tubares where there are frequent checkpoints manned by heavily armed thugs who, in the best of cases, only rob them. Faced with this situation, the managers of the mine chose to evacuate all remaining staff by small planes. In La Cieneguita – Lluvia de Oro, Municipality of Urique, Chihuahua there are two mining companies, Minera Rio Tinto, S.A. de C.V. to which I have been serving as General Manager, and Dia Bras, the owner of the Piedras Verdes underground mine. We have an open pit mine. We were asked to provide a list of all personnel under the pretext of finding enemies hiding among the mine workers, or they threatened to come and kill everyone.

Sucesos en La Cieneguita, Mpio. Urique, Chih.

La semana pasada se sucedieron hechos de terrorismo en la Sierra de Chihuahua dentro del Municipio de Urique en el Estado de Chihuahua en donde hace ya mas de un año se convive con grupos delictivos que se dedican a asaltar y a matar a los que se les enfrentan, sin que las Autoridades hayan podido ponerles freno, el caso es que la semana pasada la Empresa Gold Corp., Mina El Sauzal resintió el secuestro de dos Empleados, además de que los Proveedores del Estado de Sinaloa se han retirado al no tener garantías de circular de Choix por El Potrero y Tubares por los frecuentes retenes de malandros armados hasta los dientes que, en el mejor de los casos solo les roban, ante esta situación los Directivos de la Mina optaron por evacuar a su Personal vía aérea, un tren de aviones hasta sacar vivo al ultimo. En La Cieneguita Lluvia de Oro, Mpio. Urique, Chihuahua están dos Empresas Mineras Minera Rio Tinto, S.A. de C.V. a la que he venido prestando servicios en calidad de Gerente General y Piedras Verdes de Minera Dia Bras con minados subterráneos en tanto Nosotros explotamos a Cielo Abierto. Se Nos pidieron a ambas Minas las listas de Personal so pretexto de buscar infiltrados de los contras que provenían de Choix y venían a matar a todos?
