Mexico Calls on Zapatistas to Disarm

Posted by j1o2n3a4s5 from Yahoo News!

It should come as no surprise that the Mexican government would want to blame the Zapatistas for the violence in Atenco last week, especially since being accepted into a UN Human Rights council this week. The Zapatista cause is clearly more important than ever to all Mexicans who are struggling against globalization, but I fear that they may soon be pressured back into battle if the fire which was rekindled in Atenco becomes a blaze. Marcos’ ‘Otro Campana,’ the ‘Red Alert’ in response to the brutality in Atenco, and his appearance on Mexican television are clearly desparate attempts for much-needed international support.
