I'll be honest here, the 43 students is a tragedy that got, unfortunately, badly politicized and should not be taken seriously anymore.
The official demand by the people behind that political movement is "we want them back alive", but since when a government has been able to bring dead people back to life?
The real issue behind this tragedy is that drug dealers are infiltrated in the government and military forces, and their influence was demonstrated when they "got rid" of those 43 students when the students stole a bus with a cargo of drugs.
The demand behind the movement should be to remove any criminal influence from the government and the military forces, not to bring back to life those 43 students. They're not asking for something that will benefit us as a country, they're asking for something that will never happen, even under the best possible circumstances.
- edgarvaldes 11y agoThey deny the fact that the students are actually dead.
- crpatino 11y agoProbably wishful thinking... :(
- armandososa 11y agoBut remember, they are not confirmed dead, just "missing". I think the official demand is intentionally absurd because the situation is absurd as well. Think about it: some students were "disappeared" and then the government tries to perform a Jedi mind trick on everybody? The scary part is that they (the state) are befuddled because the mind trick has always worked. The tragedy of the 43 is hardly unique on it's own. The political consequences of it is what makes it interesting, important and –as the article states– historic. IMHO: "we want them alive", is another way of saying: "we want blood for blood".
