Colima Mexico has 1 of highest murder rate per capita & 1 of the highest crime rates, due to its ports being a contested area for cartels and cartel activities.
It is the 4th smallest federal entity after Tlaxcala, Morelos & the Federal District of Mexico City, containing only 0.3% of the country's total territory. The state is in the middle of Mexico's Pacific coast, bordered by the Pacific Ocean & the states of Jalisco & Michoacán.
Colima cartel has become a branch of the Sinaloa Cartel as are the Milenio Cartel, Guadalajara Cartel, & Sonora Cartels.
Colima marks the latest manifestation of violence in one of Mexico’s smallest yet deadliest states — a dubious honor attributable to Colima’s location along the territorial fault lines dividing Mexico’s most powerful cartels.
