Dear Colleague,
Zapatista rebels in Chiapas, Mexico hosted eight days of meetings
that moved through three of the autonomous municipal seats - known
as "Caracoles" - in their territory last week. Juan Trujillo
reports from the Caracol of Morelia:
"Afternoon fell in this corner of the Chiapaneco geography; the
cool came down from the two mountains cloaking this rebel space,
while militiapersons descended the left hand side of the mountain
giving way to members of the Indigenous Revolutionary Clandestine
Committee General Command of the EZLN; through the commentary and
bustle of the participants the night listened, as Lieutenant
Colonel Moises, Comandante Zebedeo, and Subcomandante Marcos made
themselves present for the welcoming. Rain and a slight chill
intermittently refreshed the visitors from more than 80 countries:
hundreds of collectives and social organizations, sympathizers,
members of the Other Campaign and adherents of the Sixth
Declaration of the Lancandon Jungle (La Sexta).
"...For her part Ofelia, member of the Good Government Council,
commented with notable emotion, that 'the most important thing is
to unite our struggles and thoughts against the capitalist system
that continues to steal our labor. Our voice and our struggle is
one that as we walk we learn and as we walk we teach... so that we
can recuperate what the system has stolen from us.' Finally, she
asked all the participants for 'concentration, respect and
discipline in the activities of the Encuentro.'"
