TL;DR Summary

Two federal detectives searching for 43 missing students who disappeared in Mexico almost ten years ago have themselves gone missing, prompting a search effort. The disappearances highlight the breakdown in law and order in Guerrero state, where the students are believed to have been abducted by local officials and turned over to a drug gang to be killed. The state has been plagued by clashes between police and students, and the involvement of drug cartels has led to a lack of control in certain areas. President López Obrador has faced criticism for not doing enough to investigate the fate of the missing students, leading to tensions and protests.
