A Call from the Zapatistas: Oaxaca Is Not Alone
Shut-Down of Roads, Highways and the Media on November 1;
General Strike Called for November 20
By the Sixth Commission of the EZLN
The Other Mexico
October 30, 2006
Message from the
CLANDESTINE REVOLUTIONARY INDIGENOUS COMMITTEE-GENERAL COMMAND
of the
ZAPATISTA ARMY OF NATIONAL LIBERATION
MEXICO.
October 30, 2006.
To the people of Mexico:
To the people of the world:
To the Other Campaign in Mexico and the other side of the Rio Grande:
To the entire Sixth International:
Compañeros and compañeras:
Brothers and sisters:
It is now known publicly that yesterday, 29th of October 2006, Vicente
Fox’s federal forces attacked the people of Oaxaca and its most legitimate
representative, the Popular Assembly of the Peoples of Oaxaca (APPO).
Today, the federal troops have assassinated at least 3 people, among them
a minor, leaving dozens of wounded, including many women from Oaxaca.
Dozens of detainees were illegally transported to military prisons. All
this comes in addition to the existing total of deaths, detainees and
missing persons since the beginning of the mobilization demanding that
Ulises Ruiz step down as Oaxaca’s governor.
The sole objective of the federal attack is to maintain Ulises Ruiz in
power and to destroy the popular grassroots organization of the people of
Oaxaca.
Oaxaca’s people are resisting. Not one single honest person can remain
quiet and unmoved while the entire society, of which the majority are
indigenous, is murdered, beaten and jailed.
We, the Zapatistas, will not be silent; we will mobilize to support our
brothers, sisters and comrades in Oaxaca.
The EZLN’s Sixth Commission has already consulted the Zapatista leadership
and the following has been decided:
First: During whole day of November 1, 2006, the major and minor roads
that cross Zapatistas territories in the southwestern state of Chiapas
will be closed.
Consequently, we ask that everyone avoid traveling by these roads in
Chiapas on this day and that one make the necessary arrangements in order
to do so.
Second: through the Sixth Commission, the EZLN has begun making contact
and consulting other political and social organizations, groups,
collectives and individuals in the Other Campaign, in order to coordinate
joint solidarity actions across Mexico, leading to a nationwide shut-down
on the 20th of November, 2006.
Third: the EZLN calls out to the Other Campaign in Mexico and north of the
Rio Grande, so that these November 1st mobilizations happen wherever
possible, completely, partially, at intervals or symbolically shutting
down the major artery roads, streets, toll booths, stations, airports and
commercial media.
Fourth: The central message that the Zapatistas send and will continue
sending is that the people of Oaxaca are not alone: They are not alone!
Ulises Ruiz out of Oaxaca!
Immediate withdrawal of the occupying federal forces from Oaxaca!
Immediate and unconditional freedom for all detainees!
Cancel all arrest warrants!
Punish the murderers!
Justice!
Freedom!
Democracy!
From the North of Mexico.
For the Clandestine Revolutionary Indigenous Committee-General Command of
the Zapatista Army of National Liberation.
For the EZLN Sixth Commission.
