Killing of 2 young brothers triggers huge protest in Mexico cartel bastion: "I want to live, not survive"

Thousands took to the streets Thursday to protest the killing of two children in an attempted carjacking in Mexico's troubled northwestern state of Sinaloa.

Mothers and children in school uniforms were among those calling for an end to months of cartel violence that has at times closed schools and businesses in the state capital, Culiacan.

A group of children made banners with slogans such as "I want to live, not survive," Agence France-Presse reported.
