There wasn't a war in the early 2000s leading up to to Frank Cotroni's death, so I don't know what you're referencing. There were a few murders, like the Gervasis, but that wasn't a Sicilian vs Calabrian conflict. The war between the Montagna-Desjardins-Di Maulo group didn't really start until 2010, and the violence certainly didn't stop when Rizzuto came home in 2012. There was a series of retaliatory murders all through 2013. Then there was a second conflict stretching from 2016 to 2019 that was the Scoppa brothers and Mirarchi vs the Rizzutos (which some have classed as a 'Sicilians vs Calabrians' conflict). Now it seems like another conflict between Del Balso and the Rizzutos.
