Juarez revamps crime-tarnished image - Americas - Al Jazeera English

Juarez revamps crime-tarnished image - Americas - Al Jazeera English:

This year the figures, while still high, are lower, and that has encouraged some city officials to believe the tide of drug-related crime may have turned.

They have launched a campaign to improve the city's reputation and show the world the area is getting safer, including a rock concert by Mexico's biggest band and a two-week series of business, cultural and trade events.

But some residents say Juarez is still not enough to stop the violence.

Al Jazeera's Rob Reynolds reports from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.
