In a dramatic escalation of the Guatemalan government’s efforts to reassert control over organized criminal networks operating within its borders, President Bernardo Arévalo announced a 30-day state of emergency on Sunday, responding to a concentrated wave of violence that has shaken the Central American nation over the course of just a few days. The declaration came in the immediate aftermath of coordinated uprisings at three separate prisons across the country and the killing of eight police officers — events that authorities have directly attributed to organized criminal groups retaliating against government crackdowns on their operations.
