[Subject Matter: Drug violence in Juarez and its history
Recommendation: no prior knowledge needed, this is an in depth study and highly recommended for newcomers to Mexico's narco war.]

Jose Reyes Ferriz ex Mayor of Juarez discusses the history of drug violence in Juarez from the 1950,s to 2010.

Video shot at Texas University in English.

Otis: this was originally reported by Buggs in 2010 see link, but I considered it well worth a repost, for newcomers and seasoned veterans of the narco war in Mexico, the history of Juarez is fascinating as told by Mayor Ferriz.
