(This is of course, an entirely fictional story but it's partially based on actual reality, because the Sinaloa Cartel really did defeat their hated rivals, thereby making Juarez a much safer place than before! In this particular scenario, the heavily outnumbered Sinaloa go up against the hometown Juarez cartel, even enlisting help from the United States in order to balance things out, while also providing many innocent, much beleaguered civilians a long awaited reprieve from the seemingly never ending violence and bloodshed as well!)
Once known as an extremely dangerous city with several thousand murders each year, this infamous Mexican border town finally could breathe easier now, after the focused and calculated woman known as Fernanda Delgado took over from an imprisoned Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, the former C.D.S. or Cartel de Sinaloa leader whose constant thirst for both fame and power caused him to become careless in his desire for the spotlight, yet even after his arrest El Chapo's immediate successors were all brutally killed by the notorious CJNG, or the Jalisco New Generation Cartel because they wanted a female in charge, assuming she'd be too emotional and inexperienced enough to lead such a large cartel like Sinaloa in battle, but soon enough CJNG would be proven wrong yet her first major test involved another enemy called the Juarez Cartel, who had the hometown advantage but in name only, for their methods were most certainly less than pleasant and often involved the kidnapping and slaying of completely innocent civilians, in addition to many other heinous acts committed along the way as well! The good citizens of Ciudad Juarez, or Juarez as it was more commonly called, knew that having another cartel taking over their city would amount to a lesser of two evils for sure, yet the unnecessary, no doubt cruel suffering of so many men, women, even defenseless children became too much for Fernanda to ignore any longer, so despite being a criminal herself, both she and the rest of C.D.S. who were then available in the local area began a long and bloody struggled for complete control of Juarez, with everything on the line because if she failed, then Fernanda would not only be seen as weak but also had a strong chance of either being killed or arrested, both scenarios quite possibly resulting from her own cartel turning against her, rather than the Juarez Cartel itself murdering or paying off the police to have Fernanda placed behind bars for life!
Fernanda sighed deeply before deciding to take a huge gamble and major risk, by actually joining forces with certain elements of the United States' darker and more sordid side, namely the C.I.A. and D.E.A. because both organizations were known to be crooked and corrupt in some ways, so in exchange for financial help and brand new weapons, along with planted C.I.A. and D.E.A. spies working to infiltrate and help take out Sinaloa's hated rival, and a signed contract between all parties involved, Fernanda took the fight to the Juarez Cartel with the promise that yes, it would be much better to only have one major player in Mexico, an organization which also vowed to protect innocent people as best they could, rather than dozens or even hundreds of other cartels all vying for the top spot or spots, while butchering defenseless human beings without the slightest care in the world! The United States wasn't exactly jumping for joy over supporting Sinaloa like this, but if they could help Fernanda take down the competition while getting much of the credit for it, then they'd be able to brag while actually pretending to care about what happened in Mexico, which was all just an excuse for boasting that the "war on drugs" was finally being won, but despite the many shortcomings of both sides, they each knew that Ciudad Juarez would eventually make for an outstanding tourist destination, so now the ball was in Fernanda's court and she must emerge victorious at any and all cost!
With the Juarez people and United States more or less on Sinaloa's side, this war should have been short lived at best, but in reality it took several years to actually end, which was all part of the plan to slowly, yet also surely eliminate the competition, as both cartels wasted no time in committing atrocious acts of extreme violence against one another, from brutal chainsaw slayings, where flesh and bone were easily cut apart with sharp blades that tore people apart limb from limb, to barbaric machete and knife dismemberments, in which men and even women suffered mostly slow and agonizing deaths, as sharp but sometimes rather blunt instruments often took more than a little time before eventually cutting arms, legs and heads off from screaming bodies, although every now and then things were mercifully finished quickly, depending on the sharpness and skill of both the weapon and person using it, there seemed to be no end regarding how disgusting yet creative a human life could so easily expire, and even unspeakable things like being boiled or burned alive in acid, hot grease, or open flames often took place as well, with people crying out at the top of their lungs while flesh melted from bone, or burned to a crisp and then there were the more traditional gun battles, pitting rival cartel members against each other in open combat or via guerilla warfare, often resulting in outright massacres committed by each side, or worse yet, innocent people being gunned down by the cowardly Juarez Cartel, but eventually through being assisted by the C.I.A. and D.E.A., Sinaloa ended up giving many high quality weapons to Ciudad Juarez, who began fighting back and this put the final nail in the former criminal organization once and for all!
The last Juarez Cartel members surrended to Fernanda Delgado, only for her to callously gun down every last one of those unarmed men and women, until not a single person from five hundred remained alive, as her deadly cartel members continued firing long after the final person had taken their dying breath!
Yes that had been extremely brutal and showed just how vile and reprehensible Fernanda herself could be, but those repulsive people were responsible for many precious, defenseless lives being lost over the course of time, and since none of them could be trusted she did what needed to be done, thus completely gaining the full respect and support of both her own cartel and the people she'd vowed to protect, but the end results spoke for themselves because the murder rate in Juarez quickly plummeted from around three thousand to right at three hundred each year, with the vast majority being Sinaloa defending their desperately fought, newly won major territory from any outside threats, but they also treated citizens respectfully as tourism finally opened up and life returned to normal for the proud, hard working people of Ciudad Juarez!
