By: Editor Yessica Morales
*In that border region, the population in human mobility was in the middle of the cartel war and what they seek is to survive.
Last May 25, the Jalisco Nueva Generación and Sinaloa cartels confronted each other near the communities of Nueva Independencia (known as Lajerio) and Candelaria located in Frontera Comalapa. In that context: one of these groups kidnapped six young men to force them to participate in the confrontations.
This alerted the population and they began to escape that same day. To date, it is estimated that there are about 3,000 residents of both communities and others nearby in a situation of forced displacement.
Six days after those events, a thousand uniformed officers carried out an operation to enter the area. They left in a caravan from the military base located in the municipality of Comitán, but 53 kilometers away (about 32 miles), still far from the displacement zone, they diverted to the town of Joaquín Miguel Gutiérrez, known as Quespala.
There the population, under the control of one of the cartels, had crossed a trailer and, armed with sticks and stones, tried to prevent their passage. The uniformed men, armed with Barret machine guns, assault rifles, among other devices, decided to remove the checkpoint directly confronting the population.
Given the situation, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) stressed the importance of considering the situation of internally displaced persons and taking urgent and differentiated measures for their protection.
Meanwhile, government authorities work together on the implementation of operations and permanent surveillance, as well as the sending of humanitarian aid to the population and the installation of temporary shelters.
It should be noted that as a result of the clashes between groups, some families decided to leave their homes for surrounding villages. Now, however, they are already returning to their homes due to the tranquility provided by the presence of authorities.
As part of the actions being carried out, the Government of Chiapas has sent a total of 30.8 tons of supplies for the people of that municipality, consisting of 5 thousand 419 kilograms (kg) of beans, 2 thousand 849 kg of rice, 2 thousand 572 kg of corn flour, 2 thousand 91 bags of lentils, 2,004 bags of powdered milk, 2,164 cans of sardines, 10,002 bags of pasta soup and 3,031 bags of oatmeal.
Also, 2 thousand 528 fruit bars, one thousand 763 cans of vegetable salad, 12 thousand liters of purified water, one thousand pairs of sandals, 8 thousand pieces of disposable diapers, 8 thousand 100 pieces of feminine towels and 800 pairs of tennis shoes for girls and boys, among other supplies.
Chiapas, at “war” due to the abandonment and complicity of authorities

“We are in a war scenario as a consequence of the abandonment and complicity of the governments, because of which armed attacks have proliferated,” warned the Fray Bartolomé de Las Casas Human Rights Center (Frayba) regarding the attack against the more than 200 displaced people from Santa Martha, municipality of Chenalhó, who are refugees in the community of Polhó, perpetrated on Friday with a result of seven dead.
Pedro Faro Navarro, the person responsible at the space of international incidence of Frayba, said that: “in the armed attacks between crime groups, the civilian population is in the crossfire, torturing scenarios of great psycho-social impacts, as well as direct executions, disappearances and forced displacements.”
In statements to La Jornada, he explained that “there are territories in which armed groups have proliferated, many of them successors of paramilitarism, caused by the active impunity of the Mexican State, which detonates violence, a terrified population, murders and displacements.”
In the attack with high-caliber weapons committed on Friday at 3 p.m. in Polhó, seven people died, including a three-year-old child, which has caused a situation of tension and fear in the area, in which the community of Acteal is located, where on December 22, 1997, 45 Tsotsiles belonging to the Las Abejas Civil Society Organization were massacred.
Las Abejas of Acteal remember the family members they lost in the massacre.
On that occasion, PRI paramilitaries who had caused the displacement of hundreds of residents of different communities attacked the members of Las Abejas who were fasting and praying to demand that the violence be stopped. They massacred 45 indigenous people, despite the fact that various organizations, including Frayba, warned of the danger of a massacre.
José Vázquez Gutiérrez, a human rights defender who accompanies the displaced people of Santa Martha, said: “26 years later, the same thing continues as when the Acteal massacre happened because I was there; The situation has not changed.”
He added that for months, representatives of the more than 200 displaced people from Santa Martha demanded greater security from federal and state authorities after the attack committed on Friday.
“The police and the National Guard are camped at the exit of the municipal seat of Chenalhó, but people want them to patrol to avoid aggression.”

Vazquez Gutierrez affirmed: “There is no security for them. We have asked the state government to provide us with security, because even we as human rights defenders are persecuted and threatened with death.”
A former member of the pacifist organization Las Abejas, Vázquez Gutiérrez said he has filed complaints with the Indigenous Prosecutor’s Office about the threats he has received for accompanying citizens who have had to leave their homes due to violence.
In an interview, he said that “all the residents of Polhó are very afraid; There are no more people at the entrance to the community.”
He insisted that the demand is that “there be immediate security for the displaced. Security forces patrols to protect the displaced who are in fear.”
José Vázquez also demanded that: “it be investigated, justice be done and the law be applied to those who burned their houses and displaced the Santa Martha inhabitants who are now suffering as refugees because they were dispossessed of all their belongings.”

[Excerpt from the first La Jornada article dated June 3.]
Seven indigenous people died and three were injured during an armed attack committed yesterday evening in the locality of Polhó, municipality of Chenalhó, where inhabitants of the Santa Martha ejido, belonging to the same municipality, are sheltered, official sources reported.
Residents of the area, close to Acteal, said that “they attacked the more than 200 displaced persons” from Santa Martha who left their homes in October 2022, because of an internal agrarian conflict. One of their representatives, who requested anonymity, commented that the attackers belong to an armed group that left Polhó. “We know that they attacked Fernando Ruiz, the owner of the house where the displaced are living.
“I came to pick up a wounded man who is one of the displaced and we transferred him to the municipal seat of Chenalhó. There were several deaths. We heard the sound of gunfire,” he added. He maintained that one of the deceased is the son of Fernando Ruiz. “I saw about three or four dead in a car when I went to pick up the wounded young man named Manuel Gomez.”
He said that, “according to some displaced persons, among the aggressors there were also residents of Santa Martha who had warned that they would attack the owner of the house in which the displaced are staying.”
In this area, on December 22, 1997, a paramilitary group murdered 45 members of the pacifist civil organization of Las Abejas.[1]
Note
[1] The massacre of 45 Las Abejas members on December 22, 1997 took place in Acteal, just one or two miles up the road from Polhó. The paramilitary violence leading up to, during and after the Acteal Massacre caused an estimated 9 thousand residents of the area to leave their homes and seek shelter. Polhó is an autonomous Zapatista community, the municipal seat of San Pedro Polhó autonomous municipality, belonging to the Caracol of Oventic. In 1997, Polhó accepted many thousands of those who displaced to seek refuge, both Zapatistas and non-Zapatistas.

Polhó residents fear for their lives after attack that left 7 dead
By: Elio Henríquez, Correspondent Polhó, Chiapas
Due to the lack of conditions for personnel of the Indigenous Justice Prosecutor’s Office to enter the community of Polhó, municipality of Chenalhó, it was not until Saturday morning, 18 hours later, that they picked up the bodies of four of the seven people shot dead on Friday, including a 3-year-old boy.
Representatives of the more than 200 residents from the Santa Martha ejido who have been refugees in Polhó since the beginning of October 2022, said that the “attack” in which seven people died and three were injured was committed around 5 p.m. on Friday [June 2].
Although the State Attorney General’s Office reported in a statement Friday night that the deceased were displaced, Manuel Gómez Velasco, representative of the indigenous people, said that they only “defended themselves,” and the six deceased belong to the group of alleged aggressors, headed by Gilberto Pérez Gómez, who lost his life along with his wife, his son-in-law, his 3-year-old grandson and two of his bodyguards.
The other victim, he added, is Oliverio Ruiz, the son of Fernando Ruiz, the owner of a warehouse that they rent to the displaced persons from Santa Martha.
“Autonomy is Life. Submission is Death.
“The attack was against the more than 200 displaced people, because they wanted to finish us off,” said Gómez Velasco, one of its representatives, who reiterated that “armed men arrived and directly came to attack us. We have always told the state and federal governments that the people of Santa Martha are looking for a way to finish us off. They fired everywhere at the displaced.”
The staff of the Office of the Prosecutor of Indigenous Justice attested to the bodies of Gilberto Pérez who was lying next to his truck in the middle of the road with a high-caliber weapon at his side; of his son-in-law Antonio Pérez Pérez, and his three-year-old son, who were inside the unit that had more than 50 high-powered bullet wounds.
The agent of the Public Ministry also attested to the body of Oliverio Ruiz, who since Friday night was transferred by relatives to his house, located in front of the site of the shooting, to be waked.
Several houses had holes from bullet impacts. A transformer of the Federal Electricity Commission was damaged, so the area was left without power.
According to residents, Angelina Gómez Pérez, Pérez Gómez’s wife, died the night of the attack while being taken to a hospital, as did the two brothers and bodyguards, Antonio and Gilberto Jiménez Pérez, who were in a Ford Estaquita pick-up truck, identified as members of a group nicknamed Los Ratones. Amalia and Estela Perez Gomez, ages 11 and 19, daughters of Perez Gomez, are hospitalized.
José Vázquez Gutiérrez, assistant human rights defender, said that “there is no security for the displaced, although we have requested it from the government. All communities are very afraid.”
He pointed out that “it was an attack againstthe displaced, but they responded because Oliver Ruiz, son of the owner of the house in which they live, was already dead. That’s when the shooting started, that’s why they responded.”
For its part, the state government reported that “it is presumed that this aggression was between individuals and occurred when driving through the area aboard a vehicle, people were attacked with gunfire.”
He said that: “immediately after learning of the violent events that occurred in the Polhó community, he activated the attention protocol to guarantee security in that region.”

From the Editors
Yesterday, federal and State security forces, with the support of airplanes, retook control of Frontera Comalapa, Chiapas, where several communities were the scene of confrontations between two organized crime groups last week, which caused the displacement of at least 3,000 residents.
Hundreds of troops left the municipality of Comitán early to head to the Joaquín Miguel Gutiérrez ejido, known as Quespala, some 50 kilometers (about 30 miles) from the municipal seat of Frontera Comalapa, where they encountered dozens of residents who tried to prevent their entry, and therefore there was a confrontation.
According to testimonies of neighbors, some people placed vehicles, tree trunks and a steel boom across the entrance to the community and started to throw sticks and stones at members of the security forces. They responded with tear gas in order to disperse the dissidents and then they took control of the town amid cries of rejection and complaints. The authorities did not disclose whether there were any injuries or arrests.
Another convoy entered the municipal seat at noon. There were no incidents in this case. Local residents explained that some uniformed forces arrived from Tapachula or from coastal municipalities. “There were so many Army cars and they stayed at the entrance.”

They indicated that a little before these forces arrived, a small plane, presumably of the Mexican Army, flew over the area; while in other regions, like Paso Hondo, on the border with Guatemala, several helicopters were seen.
On Monday, the Secretary of National Defense announced the start of this operation of the regional task force of the Seventh Military Region, the Navy, the National Guard, the Attorney General of the Republic, the State’s Attorney General and the state’s Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection.
Yesterday morning, a voice message was broadcast, attributed to an alleged leader of the El Maíz group, linked to the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG), in which could be heard: “Compañeros of the foundation, Have a good morning. We’re going to be very relaxed, the law is coming, it’s going to do its job, it’s going to be searching.”
According to the inhabitants of Frontera Comalapa, the troops, as well as federal and state agents remained in the community as of Tuesday night, so daily activities were renewed.
They calculate that more than 1.000 members of the security forces participate in the operations implemented because of the roadblocks and confrontations that took place last week between members of the Jalisco Nueva Generación and the Sinaloa cartels, mostly in Nueva Independencia (Lajerío).
Last Thursday, alleged criminals set a truck on fire in the municipality of Mazapa de Madero, Chiapas, near Frontera Comalapa, where there was also a shootout.
From the Editors
Together with the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG), the criminal grouping El Maíz has been able to control residents of the municipality of Frontera Comalapa, where there are some 3,000 displaced by the violence. Those who refuse to participate in the roadblocks are killed, disappeared, kidnapped, fined or beaten with boards, denounced inhabitants of that place, situated 25 kilometers (15.5 miles) from the border with Guatemala.
“Some of those who are closing roads are transport drivers, gum sellers, shoe shiners, businessmen; everyone who seeks to earn their daily bread with the simplest work is subject to this group,” they accused.
“Under threat and fear, everyone is pressured. So is Comalapa. Those who have a conscience are few; the majority of the people of Comalapa do not participate of their own volition,” said some locals consulted on condition of anonymity.
“If the tenants of the market are told that they have to close and go to block [roads], they must obey; Otherwise, they fine them, lock them up for three days and even take away their booths,” they explained.
They said that the situation in Comalapa broke down more than two years ago, when a group of the Sinaloa cartel split and joined the CJNG. Then, they formed El Maíz, now a feared group, to form their social base through threats and pressure.
The clashes that began two years ago are the result of the Sinaloa cartel seeking to regain territory.
“They have subjected the unions of workers who sell pozol, gum, meat, tortillas, shine shoes, load cargo, etc. (only teachers and health workers have not been forced to join); From the smallest to the largest are subject to this organization, backed by four letters,” a resident revealed.
Since last Tuesday, when the most recent confrontations began, in which according to some neighbors even drones were used, the constant threat, especially through WhatsApp messages, is that they will enter the municipal seat to capture the leaders or that there will be forced recruitment.
In response, El Maíz forces citizens to block different points and confront an opposing group approaching Lajerío or some other community.
“The least that can happen to those who resist participating is that they board them: they lower their pants and with a piece of board they hit them on the buttocks until they defecate because of the pain,” a local man said.
Paralyzed Economy
Comalapa, governed by a municipal council presided over by Alejandro Mérida, is now taken over by men of the CJNG-El Maíz, which without the presence of public security forces, move through the streets at any speed in pick-up trucks, and with high-power weapons.
When they participate in confrontations they use the so-called monsters, armored vehicles with thick metal plates.
The residents of Frontera Comalapa asserted that the clashes in recent days have left an undetermined number of dead and injured from the two gangs. There have also been heavy economic losses due to the closure of shops, paralyzed transport and citizens unable to work.

National and international statement in response to the aggression against the Moses Gandhi community

June 2023
To the peoples of Mexico and the world,
To the individuals, collectivities and peoples who defend Life
To those who feel the urgency of acting before a Mexican southeast on fire.
Today, at this time, Mexico is on the limit, to that limit that always seems distant until a bullet that comes from above detonates the rage of the Mexico from below. The Zapatista compañero Jorge López Santíz is on the edge between life and death due to a paramilitary attack from the Regional Organization of Coffee Growers of Ocosingo (ORCAO, for its acronym in Spanish), the same group that has been attacking and harassing the Zapatista communities. Chiapas is on the verge of a civil war with paramilitaries and hitmen of the various cartels fighting for the plaza (geographical area of influence); and self -defense groups, with the active or passive complicity of the state and federal governments of Rutilio Escandón Cadenas and Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
The Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN), that has maintained peace and has developed its autonomous project in its territories, has tried to avoid violent clashes with paramilitary and other forces of the Mexican State, nevertheless, it is harassed and constantly attacked. Since the end of the 20th century, and up to now, the EZLN has opted for the political struggle by civil and peaceful means, despite the fact that their communities are shot, their crops burned and their cattle poisoned. Instead of investing their work in war, they have invested it in building hospitals, schools and autonomous governments that have benefited Zapatistas and non-Zapatistas alike, and yet governments from Carlos Salinas to López Obrador have tried to isolate, delegitimize and exterminate them. Today, a few months before the EZLN struggle ́s 40th anniversary, the paramilitary attack by ORCAO has one man’s life hanging in the balance, the same from which hangs the eruption of Mexico from below that can no longer stand the pressure on its dignity or the war against its communities and territories.
The ORCAO attack is not a conflict between communities, as Carlos Salinas would characterize it and as López Obrador will surely try to do it. The attack is the direct responsibility of the Government of Chiapas and the Federal Government. The first for covering up the growth of criminal groups that have caused Chiapas to go from relative tranquility to a red hot spot of violence. The second for remaining silent and passive in the face of the evident situation in the southeast. Why does ORCAO attack the Zapatista communities? Because they can. Why does the government of Rutilio Escandón allow it? Because in the Chiapas of above, governing means bathing with indigenous blood. Why does López Obrador keep silent? Because the governor of Chiapas is brother -in -law of his beloved Secretary of the Interior, Adan Augusto López; because as his predecessors, he cannot tolerate that a rebel group is a reference of hope and dignity; because he needs to justify military action to “clean” the southeast and finally be able to impose his megaprojects.
We also understand this attack as the result of the current government’s social policies to divide and corrupt, destroying the social fabric of the communities and peoples in our country, particularly, in Chiapas. We see with concern that programs such as “Sembrado Vida”, -which practically has the same budget that the Federal Ministry of Agriculture-, and other similar programs, promote confrontation between communities historically stripped of their lands and their rights. They are used as mechanisms of political control and as bargaining chips for organizations such as ORCAO to gain access to the supposed benefits that these programs provide, at the cost of the theft of recovered Zapatista autonomous lands. For us it is clear that it is not a matter of conflicts between peoples; It is a counterinsurgency action that seeks to destroy them, destroy the EZLN and all the communities and peoples that continue to fight for a life with dignity.
Those of us who sign this letter do so to summon ourselves and those who believe that dignity and word must be risen to stop the massacre that is looming; to call upon those who support the current government to open their hearts to the injustices that inundate the present of this country, beyond their affinities or political sympathies; so that we can join forces in this need to act with the common purpose of stopping this atrocity.
We sign this letter because we see the urgency to put a stop to the paramilitary violence in Chiapas, because failure to do so means letting Mexico sink deeper into this endless war that is tearing it apart. We demand justice for Jorge López Santíz. We demand the absolute dissolution of the ORCAO. We demand a thorough investigation of the Government of Rutilio Escandón. We demand that the silence of López Obrador cease to be an accomplice of the violence in Chiapas.
Taking up the demands presented by the National Indigenous Congress we demand:
1. That the health of compañero Jorge be guaranteed and that he be provided with all the necessary attention and for the time required.
2. That the armed attack against the Moisés Gandhi community be stopped and its autonomous territory be respected.
3. That the material and intellectual authors of these paramilitary attacks be punished.
4. That the armed groups, through which the war against the Zapatista communities continues to be active and growing, be dismantled.
We, as well, demand the immediate release of Manuel Gómez, support base of the EZLN, whose unfair imprisonment we do not forget.
With the CNI, we warn that the war declared against the original peoples, guardians of Mother Earth, forces us to act organized to stop the violence that grows and to restore our connection and care of Life.
We call upon ourselves to demonstrate in the streets, embassies and consulates, study centers and workplaces, in social media; everywhere possible and essential for us; against military,
paramilitary and organized crime violence, and in defense of life.
We call ourselves and call upon you to join efforts to weave a day of dislocated actions from May 27th to June 10th with a national and international coordinated action on June 8th.
Stop the war against the Zapatista peoples.
If they touch one of us, they touch us all.

Chiapas is a powder keg about to explode. Violence multiplies alarmingly. Armed attacks by paramilitaries against Zapatista communities are frequent and intensifying. Organized crime groups organize levies (forced recruitment) of young people to swell their armies. Thousands of displaced people live in the bush or in makeshift villages. Motorized criminal gangs star in real pitched battles in San Cristobal to control markets and drug routes. Cartels fight with blood and fire for control of the border with Guatemala.
It is a diverse violence, fueled by the combination of ancestral conflicts and new disputes linked to land, trade and drug trafficking. Despite the presence of the Army and the National Guard, high-caliber weapons are obtained with astonishing ease. In the face of government inaction, paramilitaries, hitmen, self-defense groups (Pantelhó, Altamirano and San Cristóbal) and “private security” agencies are multiplying throughout the state.”
The paramilitary groups, sheltered by the authorities, have been associated with organized crime, which subrogates their services. They work double duty. On the one hand, they seek to keep at bay the processes of expansion of rebellious communities and the protests of peasants in struggle. On the other, they move undocumented migrants, move large volumes of drugs and engage in drug dealing, distribute pirate merchandise and indigenous pornography, traffic stolen cars and weapons. Now, as can be seen in the case of Chicomuselo, they also steal minerals.
Those gangs, which often control local transportation and routes in various regions, serve local politicians. The “new Chiapas family,” which is the recycled “old Chiapas family,” has become deeply intertwined with them. The same has happened with a part of the traditional indigenous chiefdoms, some of which have successfully ventured as polleros {migrant smugglers) and/or narcos.
Protesting Paramilitary Attacks.
One of the central axes of this violence is the paramilitary aggressions against Zapatista support bases. (https://chiapas-support.org/2021/10/02/orcao-the-paramilitary-arm/). Just on Monday, May 22, as part of an aggression that lasted four days without the authorities intervening, the paramilitary group of the Regional Organization of Ocosingo Coffee Growers (ORCAO) shot the Tseltal Jorge Gilberto López Santis, from the Moisés Gandhi autonomous community, rebel municipality Lucio Cabañas. He is in serious condition. His diaphragm, large intestine, stomach and spleen were punctured. He hangs between life and death. Over the last few months, the ORCAO has attacked the rebels more than 10 times, with absolute impunity. It has burned coffee warehouses, schools and kidnapped indigenous peoples.
Among other things, the ORCAO seeks to dispossess the Zapatistas of lands that they recuperated in the 1994 Uprising, in part, to collect government support from the Sembrando Vida program. Their aggressions, perpetrated with the absolute complicity of the authorities, show the serious deterioration that exists in the state and send a very dangerous signal. It is not just another onslaught. The underlying conflict is at a critical point.
The situation is also very serious, among many other municipalities and localities, in Teopisca, Comalapa, Betania, the Las Choapas-Ocozocoautla [federal] highway, San Cristóbal, Frontera Comalapa, Trinitaria and Chicomuselo). Roadblocks in Teopisca are becoming more than frequent, due to the formal demand to dismiss Mayor Josefa María Sánchez and form a municipal council. Just last May 21, three people were injured in a shootout between state agents, who tried to arrest leaders of the movement, and peasants who defended them.
A little more than 120 kilometers away, on the Las Choapas-Ocozocoautla highway, on May 25 there were roadblocks (for five hours), gunshots and a trailer set on fire. Hooded men assaulted trucks and Coppel stores and set fire to small businesses. On February 8, something similar had just happened. At the height of Malpaso, the cartels fight over the transit of drugs, collection of protection money, passage of undocumented migrants, weapons and stealing gasoline (huachicól).
A truck burns in Frontera Comalapa narco-violence.
Last week was particularly tragic in Frontera Comalapa, where criminals dispute the territory, murdering innocents in the crossfire. Volleys of bullets, roadblocks, burned cars, caravans of artillery vehicles (the famous “monsters”), are part of the region’s usual landscape in recent days. In communities near Nueva Independencia, where El Maíz (a subsidiary of the Cartel Jalisco New Generation) operates, young people are recruited and given weapons to confront their rivals. Some 3,000 people who were displaced from their villages had to take refuge in the mountains and on the banks of the river.
According to the Fray Bartolomé de las Casas Human Rights Center, there is “acquiescence of the State,” because in the “El Jocote community there is a detachment of the Mexican Army. On the Paso Hondo-Frontera Comalapa highway stretch there is a detachment of the National Guard. And in the municipality of Chicomuselo is the largest barracks of the Mexican Army.”
This is no exaggeration. The Chiapas powder keg can explode at any time.
San Cristóbal de Las Casas, Chiapas, México May 26, 2023 Bulletin No. 12
Tension in Zapatista territory
On January 1, 1994, the Zapatista National Liberation (EZLN, Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional) took up arms, declaring war on the Mexican State, fighting for work, education, health, justice, land and freedom. After 12 days, and due to the pressure of national and international civil society, a ceasefire was decreed for the Zapatista peoples. After the San Andrés Dialogues, the Mexican government failed to comply with the agreements to reform the Constitution and fully comply with the rights of indigenous peoples. Since then, the EZLN has built its autonomy and self-determination within in its territory in a civil and peaceful manner. The EZLN is also a key actor for the advancement and exercise of the rights of indigenous peoples.
During these 29 years, the EZLN has been harassed and continuously attacked by the Mexican Army and groups related to the State. The strategies of war and counterinsurgency modify their methods of violence, in order to destroy and co-opt the resistance and emancipatory movements that are fighting for the respect of their rights, and in this territory for the collective rights that they claim as original peoples.
We have constantly documented and denounced the facts of violations of territory, autonomy and self-determination, aggressions, armed attacks and criminalization, among others, in all spheres of responsibility, such as the unpunished murder of teacher Galeano in 2014, which marked a new scenario regarding organizations allied with the three levels of government (federal, state and municipal).
In this six-year term of Andrés Manuel López Obrador, that has not been left behind. Attacks against the lands recuperated by the EZLN are constant. In some autonomous territories we have documented aggressions, threats and armed attacks, such as that of the Good Government Junta of Caracol 10 in Patria Nueva, where EZLN Support Bases have suffered serious human rights violations such as arbitrary deprivations of liberty, torture, forced displacement and several wounded by firearms.
At present, the Law for Dialogue, Conciliation and Dignified Peace is in force in Chiapas, in which the EZLN is an example and has had a continuous action in which it proposes, builds and resists in a peaceful way, being a watershed for many peoples who are for the defense of life and territory.
Of all these acts of aggression and attacks against the Zapatista movement, the State bodies that have jurisdiction and that must respect, guarantee and protect human rights have been informed with all documentary rigor, without having shown political will to address the urgent situation. From the Frayba we express our concern about the constant violence that the EZLN has received and that we see increase due to the active impunity generated by the Mexican government.
In one of its last communiqués of 2021, the Indigenous Revolutionary Clandestine Committee-General Command of the EZLN (CCRI-CG-EZLN) warned that Chiapas was on the brink of Civil War. Its perspective is a symptom of those who are living in Chiapas territory.
From the Frayba, we state that we live in constant insecurity, with high risk to life, which has led to an increase in extreme violence against the EZLN Support Bases, such as the violence committed on May 23 in the region of Moisés y Gandhi. This has expanded to other territories that are being wounded from the criminality that controls the lives of communities and towns such as that which takes place on the southern border of Chiapas.
In this context, we declare that our unavoidable duty is to stop this violence that has been growing and we see that it can be done with the organization of towns, communities, organizations, neighborhoods and districts; from their own roots and culture, to deactivate violence and build peace from below, betting on the possibility of the reproduction of existence where the good life is pondered.
It is urgent that the Mexican State do its job fully and immediately address the underlying problem in order to guarantee dialogue and peace in Chiapas, generating clear routes to achieve it.
We call on national and international solidarity to demand that the Mexican State act forcefully, so that the attacks against the autonomous political project of the EZLN and the generalized violence in the state of Chiapas cease immediately. We also ask the solidarity to show signs of support to the peoples who defend life, territory, Mother Earth and peace.

From the Editors
Between Tuesday and Thursday, alleged members of organized crime groups sustained shootouts and maintained intermittent roadblocks at different points on the highway located between the municipality of Frontera Comalapa, Chiapas, and the border with Guatemala due to the dispute over territorial control, residents reported.
They assured that one of the most critical points is located in the town of Nueva Independencia, popularly known as Lajerío, where during yesterday afternoon and evening the men who reside in the area fled into the mountains or to the bank of a river, because one of the cartels is recruiting them.
“They’ve picked up (kidnapped) a lot of people. The armed and hooded men are in the center of the community waiting for the night to take the men out and take them away. Almost all the houses (approximately 200) are empty,” said a resident of the region, who said that people are defenseless because there is no presence of public security forces in the area.
“We left the houses because (the gunmen) are coming in and taking out young people to recruit them. And there is no help to defend us. Today they started doing it and that’s why most of us left. In Lajerío there is the biggest problem and they say there are deaths.”
Other locals reported that this situation began on Tuesday, after the murder of a local transport leader; They assured that the blockades and skirmishes began that day among alleged members of the Cártel JaliscoNueva Generación and the Sinaloa Cartel.
They indicated that since then there have been no classes in Frontera Comalapa and all activities were suspended. “The streets are desolate because people are afraid and sheltered in their homes,” warned one resident; “The authorities have not shown their face,” he claimed.
Those affected reported that there have been roadblocks in the town of Pacayalito, the exit to the municipality of Motozintla, located in the mountains of the state, as well as in the Tres Maravillas ejido, in the direction of Chicomuselo.
Also, in Sabinada, next to Guadalupe Grijalva, where several skirmishes have occurred, and in the detour of Nuevo México, Santa Rita and Paso Hondo (a few kilometers from the border with Guatemala), the exit to Comitán.
“Everything has been closed since Tuesday and although they opened for a little bit, there have been permanent roadblocks since Wednesday night,” they maintained.
The narcomanta (narco banner) in Mazapa de Madero.
They added that in the municipality of Mazapa de Madero, located in the same area, there was also a shootout yesterday, “they burned a truck and left a narcomanta (narco-banner) addressed to the organization called Maíz; that it has no choice but to accede to what the cartel that dominates the border area wants.”
Meanwhile, in Chicomuselo, neighboring municipality of Frontera Comalapa, according to some residents the situation was also tense yesterday because since Wednesday the entrance was obstructed; “You can’t leave or enter.” In this context, it was reported that activist Fredy Milton Morales Zunun was detained, but hours later he was released.
On the other hand, at the request of the National Human Rights Commission, the State Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection agreed to implement precautionary measures in the Nuevo Morelia ejido, in Chicomuselo, where alleged workers of a company, supported by armed men, have been removing barite extracted from a mine since last weekend.
Frayba asked AMLO to guaranty security in Caracol 10
The Fray Bartolomé de Las Casas Human Rights Center asked President Andrés Manuel López Obrador to urgently guaranty “the life, security and physical and psychological integrity of residents of the Moisés y Gandhi region,” belonging to Caracol 10, where Gilberto López Sántiz, a support base of the Zapatista National Liberation Army (EZLN, Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional) was shot and [seriously] wounded on the 22nd of this month.
