This is a humanitarian crisis and regional tragedy. And as far as the United Nationsand the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre, are concerned, bad guys are to blame.
But this common received wisdom about violence in Central America and Mexico overlooks two facts.
Both areas are rich in natural resources, including fine woods (such as mahogany) and metals (such as iron, lead, gold, nickel, zinc and silver). And not all the violence plaguing the region is gang-related; it also encompassses feminicide, the killing of environmental activists and political murders and forced disappearances.
