Guatemala Communities Clash Over Opium Crops Allegedly Tied to Mexico Cartels

I suppose it was inevitable that the authorities would eventually be caught between a rock and a hard place.
It seems that making deals for an easy life and getting kick backs from both sides does come back to haunt you.....

The local residents just want to cultivate poppies and get paid the corrupt local officials just want to be paid and the rival gangs want a monopoly.

When it all goes wrong declare a state of emergency, demand the residents lay down their arms, disrupt the cartel's and renegotiate your current financial reward for turning a blind eye.

Hollywood blockbuster in the making I reckon!
