Communique from the Clandestine Revolutionary Indigenous Committee -
General Command of the Zapatista National Liberation Army.
MEXICO.

June 20, 2005

To the People of Mexico:

To the Peoples of the World:

Brothers and Sisters:

First and Only - We are informing you that, since the middle of 2002, the EZLN has been engaged in a process of reorganizing its political-military structure. This internal reorganization has now been completed.

We have the necessary conditions in place to survive an attack or enemy action that would do away with our current leadership or which would attempt to annihilate us completely.

The chains of command and the succession of responsibilities have been clearly established, as well as those actions and measures to be taken in the event of being attacked by government forces and their paramilitaries.

The CCRI-CG of the EZLN is letting it be known that conditions are in place to continue leading the zapatista struggle even if it were to lose – be it through jail, through death or through forced disappearance – some or all of its publicly known current leadership.

That is all.


Democracy!
Liberty!
Justice!

From the Mountains of the Mexican Southeast.

By the Clandestine Revolutionary Indigenous Committee – General Command of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation.


Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos.


Mexico, in the sixth month of the year 2005.




_____________________________________________
Desde Subcommandenta Pandora,

I am suggest we continue to monitor the situation here,
Also the situation right now is very dangerous because there is no EZLN in place to protect those from the International community who go there, but those of you in touch with those there, please continue to inform.

Those of you brave enough to go to bear witness for the International community my hats off. It can be very unnerving going through massive checkpoints with machine guns aimed at you.

But I hope some of you are brave enough to stay to ensure the safety of the Mayan people of Chiapas.

Cheers Pandora.

I'd love to know that as well. I read a book that was comprised of articles people wrote about the EZLN but all the articles were from 1994-1996 time period so it obviously left me wondering what is going on there now.

I think they are having a meeting over that right now. Obviously they can´t be as open as they´ve been. The powers that be in Mexico are really evil right now. The television shows images of Indigenous people and Emilio Zapata as ignorant womanizers, and voodoo witchdoctors.

I don´t think they need a lot of Westerners showing up and trying to play hero. But tourist willing to be witnesses to the protection of the Mayan people is another thing.

Last time I was there there were new massive armed bases and a fast road which led straight to Mexico City for heavy traffic. Much of the highlands had been cleared of trees if whether by US companies or Mayans slashing and burning the forest the result is the same and equally catastrophic. Every tree there equals three times the amount of oxygen for the atmosphere as a tree in the global North.

In the jungle there are multiple herbs and plants that can cure cancer. I´ve had them shown to me.
