Comment: Mexico has a number of failed communities. If more communities fail, it could potentially lead up to a failed state. End comment.
"'No control'
Some people in Mexico go as far as saying the federal government has lost Tamaulipas.
'Neither the regional nor federal government have control over the territory of Tamaulipas,' says Alberto Islas, a security analyst in Mexico City.
'For example criminal groups are more effective at collecting 'taxes' than Tamaulipas' own government,' he adds, explaining that cartels have become organised crime groups, which as well as trafficking narcotics, also extort and kidnap.
The federal government disputes this view, saying the violence in the state is confined to a few municipalities and that it has made advances in the fight against cartels."
