<p>Two years after Ismael Zambada Garcia, alias "El Mayo," was handed over to US authorities in what was deemed a traitorous act by one faction against another, the war between the Chapitos and the Mayiza factions of the Sinaloa Cartel continues to roil the area. The conflict has implications for the criminal superstructure throughout the country.</p>
<p>InSight Crime's Victoria Dittmar and co-director Steven Dudley were recently in Culiacán, Sinaloa, where they interviewed drug producers, residents, and local sources. They found a city where the war is less visible than it was but no less present.</p>
