Summary
Searching mothers and collectives in Mocorito are actively seeking missing persons amid ongoing violence. Members of the Sabuesos Guerreras collective continue their efforts despite the risks involved.
Families of the missing prioritize locating their loved ones over political issues or local conflicts. They express frustration with government inaction and the lack of effective support.
Official reports indicate 3,800 missing persons, but families estimate the number could reach 5,000 due to ongoing criminal faction wars. This discrepancy highlights a significant gap in the understanding of the crisis.
