Más de mil familias indígenas han sido desplazadas en la Montaña Baja de Guerrero, un estado ubicado en el centro de México, tras varios días de ataques armados que las propias comunidades atribuyen al grupo criminal “Los Ardillos”, en una escalada de violencia que el gobierno federal ubica en la disputa entre organizaciones criminales que operan en la región.

El Consejo Indígena y Popular de Guerrero – Emiliano Zapata (CIPOG-EZ) denunció que los ataques comenzaron el 6 de mayo en comunidades como Tula, Xicotlán, Acahuehuetlán y Alcozacán, en el municipio de Chilapa de Álvarez. Desde entonces, aseguran, la violencia ha obligado a familias enteras a abandonar sus casas durante la madrugada.

Mientras el Gobierno de la presidenta Claudia Sheinbaum ha asegurado que buscan contener la crisis mediante diálogo y la presencia de elementos del Ejército y la Guardia Nacional para evitar más enfrentamientos, las comunidades denuncian ataques armados, uso de drones y abandono por parte del Estado.

CNN solicitó comentarios a la Presidencia de México sobre las denuncias que hace la comunidad y espera respuesta.

“Más allá de que haya grupos delictivos ahí, que evidentemente tiene que atenderse con la fuerza de la ley, hay muchas personas alrededor. Entonces, no se puede actuar exclusivamente con el Ejército o con la Guardia Nacional”, dijo Sheinbaum en su conferencia de prensa diaria este miércoles.

“Entonces, por eso, le pedí a la secretaria de Gobernación que atendiera de manera personal, también está atendiendo el gobierno del estado, para permitir que salgan las personas heridas, atender a las personas desplazadas y después ya vemos, mediante el diálogo, cómo pueden regresar estas personas”, agregó.

En uno de sus mensajes publicados en redes sociales, mujeres de estas comunidades indígenas resumieron así la situación: “Más de mil familias estamos siendo desplazadas en este momento por los ataques del grupo criminal ‘Los Ardillos’. Ya han desplazado a la comunidad de Tula y están ahorita desplazando a Acahuehuetlan y Xicotlan”, dice una de ellas en un video publicado este sábado.

“Nuestros niños y niñas están en medio de la balacera. Estamos siendo atacadas con metralletas y drones, mientras el Ejército Mexicano y la Guardia Nacional observan sin hacer nada”, agrega.

Los testimonios difundidos por la propia comunidad muestran escenas de familias huyendo de madrugada, mujeres cargando cobijas y bolsas con pertenencias básicas. “Pasamos la noche huyendo, cargando a nuestros hijos e hijas para escapar de la balacera y los ataques del grupo narco paramilitar ‘Los Ardillos’”, dicen en otro video publicado un día después, el domingo 10 de mayo cuando se celebraba el Día de las Madres en México.

“¿De qué sirve hablar de ‘transformación’ mientras seguimos enterrando y buscando a nuestros hijos e hijas desaparecidos?”, añaden.

Conforme pasan los días, las comunidades han ido actualizando sus propias cifras sobre el desplazamiento. Primero hablaron de más de mil familias que habían abandonado sus hogares. Este martes, el CIPOG-EZ aseguraba que solo de la comunidad de Alcozacán habían salido más de 1.300 personas.

El Centro de Derechos Humanos Fray Bartolomé de Las Casas (Frayba) señaló que los hechos más recientes dejaron al menos 1.200 nuevos desplazados, una cifra que —sumada a desplazamientos previos registrados en la región— eleva el total a unas 2.200 personas desplazadas en la Montaña Baja de Guerrero.

“Este desplazamiento masivo forma parte de un patrón sostenido de agresiones, amenazas y ataques contra comunidades indígenas que, desde hace años, denuncian la presen

(CNN) — Dr. Stephen Kornfeld, a passenger from the MV Hondius cruise ship who had tested “faintly positive” for hantavirus, has now tested negative and been moved out of a Nebraska biocontainment unit.

Kornfeld, 69, an Oregon oncologist, had helped care for ill passengers aboard the cruise ship and himself developed a “flu-like illness,” he told CNN’s Erin Burnett on Tuesday.

“At the time, it was felt like this is just some virus,” he said. “And now, in retrospect, there is a question, could it have been hantavirus? But it’s just speculation. There’s no way to really know.”

His initial hantavirus test results — from tests taken before he returned to the US — landed him in the biocontainment unit at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. He told Burnett on Wednesday that confirmatory PCR testing was negative. The results of blood tests are still pending.

Kornfeld is now in the quarantine unit with 15 other American passengers from the ship. None of the 16 is currently reporting symptoms of illness. Two other passengers are being monitored at Emory University in Atlanta.

The World Health Organization said in an update earlier Wednesday that the current hantavirus case count tied to the Hondius stood at 11, but Kornfeld’s initial positive test was among that number.

US officials have said Hondius passengers may be able to return home to complete weeks of health monitoring for Andes hantavirus. However, the American passengers who are in quarantine in Nebraska are “encouraged to stay” at the facility for monitoring, officials with the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Wednesday. Federal officials are working with medical staff to “ensure that they have the appropriate disposition,” the CDC officials said in the agency’s first briefing since the hantavirus outbreak began.

“Our goal is to continue to work with them for the best possible place for them,” said Dr. David Fitter, incident manager for the CDC’s hantavirus response.

Hantavirus has a long incubation period, and people with high-risk exposures — including cruise ship passengers and people who were on an international flight with a sick passenger — should be monitored for 42 days, health officials say.

Some countries are testing all of their passengers who were exposed to hantavirus. But the “CDC currently recommends testing only for people with symptoms,” Fitter said.

The risk to the general public remains low, WHO and CDC say. At least 19 other people across at least 10 states also may have been exposed to hantavirus, and they are being encouraged to isolate at home as the CDC works with state and local partners to help monitor them. But “currently, there are no state or federal quarantine orders that have been drawn,” Fitter said.
