The state of Coahuila (Mexico) which borders Texas reads like another planet.
Investigative journalist, Ignacio Alvarez, ran three articles on the violence/corruption in Coahuila.
Of the three I find the second most interesting.
He proffers that a big petro land grab took place under the cover of narco violence.
