On 10 December 2014 Reuters reported: Drug-fueled gang violence and extreme weather linked to climate change are forcing tens of thousands of people in Latin America to flee their homes every year, according to Jan Egeland, head of the Norwegian Refugee Council. In the past, it was dictatorships, coups, and civil wars that drove people from their homes in Central America, Haiti, and other parts of Latin America. But these days rampant gang violence and drug turf wars are uprooting growing numbers of people from Mexico, Colombia, and Central America. Gang violence as a leading cause of displacement came under the spotlight after nearly 70,000 children travelling alone -- mostly from Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala -- were caught crossing the US border with Mexico this year, more than double the number apprehended in 2012. Local street gangs, known as maras, control entire neighbourhoods through extortion, sexual violence against girls and women, threats, killings, and forced recruitment. Global Good News service views this news as the failure of modern government and culture systems. Such 'flops' highlight the need for more intelligent, evolutionary, Natural Law based, life-supporting systems.
