Protest Against Violence

In Mexico City, on Sunday thousands marched in a silent protest against violence. Journalist Javier Sicilia  organized this march, as a result of his sons death because of violence. More than 34 600 have died because of the drug wars since December 2006 to December 2010.Since then many have died as a result to this ongoing problem.The protesters are asking President Felipe Calderon to bring in troops to end the drug wars.The protesters are demanding new plans to end the violence because the old ones have failed. The major goal is for a peace pact to be signed in Mexico's most violent city Ciudad Juarez.
