For the fourth consecutive year, Mexico has dominated a list of the most violent cities in the world but smaller towns have shot up in the rankings, reflecting new hotspots where criminal groups are fighting for control.
The most violent place in the world in 2020 was Celaya, a city of around half a million people in the central state of Guanajuato, according to the report by a Mexican non-governmental organization, the Citizens Council for Public Security and Criminal Justice.
The Santa Rosa de Lima Cartel and the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) have been battling around Celaya over control of oil theft, drug trafficking and other criminal economies.
