Eighteen thousand people evacuated

Anahuac, N.L. – Some 18,000 residents of Anahuac were evacuated after dawn today because the Salado River flooded and the Venustiano Carranza dam is at risk, according to Mayor Santos Garza Garcia.

Amid heavy rains, precautionary measures were taken in this city 224 kilometers north of Monterrey. The Venustiano Carranza Dam, in the city of Juarez, Coahuila, has the capacity of 322 million cubic meters but at this moment contains 400 million cubic meters of water.

Gates at the dam have been opened to discharge massive amounts of water which floods the rural zones and the city of Anahuac.

The problem is that there is no electricity in that area, and it is necessary to open 26 gates, to draw 2,500 cubic meters per second, although so far only eight have been opened, and removed 750 cubic meters per second.

The City of Anahuac, with the help of the State Civil Protection Agency, hastens to help the residents but a large number of them have left their homes and property and are headed to the border to cross into the United States.

El Salvador condemns the kidnapping of 20 migrants

San Salvador, El Salvador – The government condemns the kidnapping of some 210 Central American migrants in the State of Mexico by uniformed men of the Mexican Federal Police. Authorities also condemned the wounding of an El Salvadorian during an attack by soldiers of the Mexican Army in another incident.

“We want to express our condemnation and we reject the acts against our migrant community in Mexican territory,” said Councilor Hugo Martinez during a press conference accompanied by Vice-Minister of the Exterior for El Salvadorians Abroad, Juan Jose Garcia.

The Vice-Minister alleged that armed men violently invaded Shelter San Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin in the city of Lecheria in the State of Mexico and kidnapped some 20 Central Americans.

In the press release, the Councilor said that armed men dressed in the uniform of Federal Mexican Police, carrying large caliber weapons, physically and verbally abused the migrants.

The shelter was under the protection of local police but they did nothing to confront the armed men during the incident because of their high rank.

The Vice-Minister also denounced the fact that the Mexican Army fired on 16 Salvadorian migrants on a boat in the Pacific Ocean near the Guatemalan Port of Guatemalteco de Ocos on June 22 wounding a 21 year old young man.

“This attack took place in Mexican waters in which the El Salvadorians were assaulted and robbed of their clothing and money,” said Garcia.
