As the familiies of the 43 students set up an encampment to demand answers from the outgoing President, the BBC releases yet another account of their disappearance, one more take that refuses to let the State crime fade.
A crime against humanity such as this one challenges both the State and society as a whole. It is an open wound that has not healed and that damages the country as a whole. For it to heal, the archives must be fully opened, the investigation must continue and justice must be done. Nine years later, the parents of the young people who disappeared in Iguala are our great civic heroes. Their tenacity, commitment and dignity are an example to follow.
Despite executive orders otherwise, stonewalling by the Secretary of Defense continues. Much to the pain and rage of families (and of the entire country) impunity reigns. The path to truth in the Ayotzinapa case seems interminable.
