| | The Militant - 9/16/96 -- Mexico: Guerrilla Actions Spotlight Unrest |
 | | The guerrilla group, the People's Revolutionary Army (EPR), announced its existence June 28 during a rally in the mountain village of Aguas Blancas, Guerrero, commemorating a massacre of 17 peasants by the state police. |
 | | Fifty armed guerrillas appeared at the rally, which had been organized by the Organization of Peasants of the Southern Sierra (OCSS), whose members were murdered on June 18, 1995, on their way to an OCSS demonstration. |
 | | The guerrilla attacks, the biggest since the EZLN-led peasant rebellion in Chiapas in early 1994, terrified government officials, who have been working hard to coax foreign investors back to Mexico since the collapse of the peso in December 1994. |
