MEXICO CITY – Thousands of Mexicans marched into the capital city yesterday to protest against the wave of killing that has claimed 38,000 lives since President Felipe Calderon launched his war on drug gangs in 2006
Demonstrators, many wearing white and walking in silence, held up placards that read "Enough already" and "No more bloodshed".
Local media said the march was some 20,000- strong as it closed in on Mexico's huge Zocolo central square.
The march started on Thursday about 72km from the capital in the tourist city of Cuernavaca, which has been rocked by drug-related violence. – (Reuters)
