[news] War in Chiapas Likely to Resume - Zapatistas Issue Red Alert

[Resist!ca]

Last Sunday, the Zapatista Army of National Liberation put her regular army and her militia on red alert. The motivations for the red alert are unknown right now. It is very likely that the shooting war, that cost hundreds of lives in January of 1994, will be resumed. Dozens of members of autonomous regional Zapatista governments, the Councils of Good Government, fled to the mountains of Chiapas, Mexico's southernmost state. From now on they will work in a clandestine and nomadic manner. The offices of the autonomous municipalities and regions have been closed. Members of civil society who are in Chiapas right now are urged to leave rebelious territory, or stay at their own risk.
