Mexico: Protesters disrupt transport on Avenida Costera Miguel Aleman near Acapulco Convention Center during the afternoon of Feb. 16

Victims of Hurricane Otis have blocked traffic on Avenida Costera Miguel Aleman near the Convention Center in Acapulco, Guerrero, during the afternoon of Feb. 16. Participants are demanding the government provide payments for storm-related losses. It remains unclear how long the demonstration may last, but disruptions will likely persist over the coming hours.

The protest will likely prompt transport and business disruptions to locations in the impacted area, including Acapulco International Airport (ACA). Authorities will likely deploy security forces to clear the roadblocks. Low-level confrontations between police and protesters are possible.
