3,000 families displaced in Sinaloa, but many begin returning home

An estimated 3,000 families have been displaced in Sinaloa, Mexico, due to various reasons, according to interim governor Yeraldine Bonilla Valverde. However, she noted that a significant number of these families have voluntarily started returning to their original communities in Badiraguato, San Ignacio, and Culiacán.

The state government is working with local municipalities to provide support and assistance to families undertaking the journey back to their homes. The aim is to help them re-establish themselves and preserve their properties. Reports indicate that the return of displaced families to Badiraguato and San Ignacio is facilitated by improved conditions in those areas, particularly in the higher regions of Culiacán.

The Secretariat of Welfare and Sustainable Development maintains a registry of these 3,000 displaced families, providing them with aid, including food packages and financial and educational support for their children. The state system for Integral Family Development (DIF) also plays a role in registering and assisting families forced to leave their homes.

Governor Bonilla Valverde stated that once families perceive that conditions are suitable for their return, they initiate the process. The government's efforts focus on ensuring stability and security, enabling these families to rebuild their lives in their home regions.

We have records that many of them, of their own free will, have begun to return to their places of origin in Badiraguato, San Ignacio, and Culiacán.
