Spoke with @BBCNews about escalating US–Cuba tensions following the indictment of Raúl Castro. My argument: this is not only about the 1996 case, but to increase pressure on Cuba amid a severe humanitarian crisis & growing geopolitical confrontation. Watch @ 2:53 #USCuba
🗣️"Es positivo que países como Francia y Gran Bretaña no se hayan sumado a esta guerra" Anette Idler (@AnnetteIdler), directora del Programa Minerva de Seguridad Global en la Escuela de Gobierno Blavatnik.

In this @AJEnglish explainer, I discuss why most firearms seized in #Mexico originate in the US. Addressing the problem requires treating southbound gun trafficking as seriously as northbound flows of drugs and people. @GS_Oxford

"To effectively counter gun trafficking requires a major shift in US policy and priorities."
Associate Prof @AnnetteIdler spoke to Aljazeera on arming of cartels in Mexico. 👇

Spoke with France 24 on El Mencho. Decapitation strategies can weaken organisations but also trigger fragmentation and renewed violence while trafficking networks remain resilient. Long-term impact depends on addressing demand.

Spoke w/ BBC on El Mencho. Removing leaders doesn't dismantle broader systems. These groups are embedded in transnational supply chains that adapt to disruption. Stopping violence & trafficking requires addressing demand & structural drivers. Read here: https://t.co/qy4YJgcA1Y
I was interviewed by @AJEnglish on El Mencho's killing in #Mexico. My key message: Kingpin arrests matter symbolically, but globally networked illicit supply chains are built to withstand leadership loss. @XCEPT_Research@GS_Oxford@oxsocsci

El Mencho's death unlikely to have an impact on the overall drug trade, Associate Professor @AnnetteIdler tells BBC World Service. 👇

Spoke w/ @Channel4News about El Mencho’s capture & unsettling retaliatory violence. The arrest is important, but global drug supply chains are resilient to leadership losses. Without reducing demand, underlying structure remains. Interview (watch @3:40): https://t.co/v1IAdxPo7L
"El Mencho’s death is symbolically important because he was central to the Jalisco Cartel’s transformation into one of the most powerful and globally connected criminal organisations."
