Mexiko. Mexico's war on drugs: More than 60,000 people 'disappeared'
More than 60,000 people have disappeared in Mexico since the start of the country's war on drugs in 2006, according to authorities.
The number is far higher than previous estimates of around 40,000.
On top of this, more than 31,000 people were murdered in the country last year alone. (BBC, UK, 07.01.2020)
