	Zapatista Army of National Liberation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		After the dialogue ended, many accusations were made against the Mexican army and para-military groups due to prosecution, detentions and killings of Zapatistas and supporters; one particular incident was the Massacre of Acteal, where 45 people attending a church service were killed by unknown persons.
		In July 2005 the Zapatistas presented the Sixth Declaration of the Lacandonian Jungle.
		The Zapatistas claim that this silent period of their uprising has been an extremely rich effort, centered in organizing their own "good government" and lives autonomously; in particular the organization for an autonomous education and healthcare system, with its own schools, hospitals and pharmacies in places neglected by the Mexican government.

	Zapatista
		These ideals were practiced within the Zapatista Army of National Liberation in the desire to get them implemented with the success of their movement.
		In the fight for liberation, the EZLN incorporates women into the revolutionary struggle, regardless of their race, creed, color or political affiliation, requiring only that they share the demands of the exploited people and that they commit to the laws and regulations of the revolution.
		In the Zapatista movement it is not unusual to have women military commanders, and other leadership positions in the EZLN that have everyone's respect.

	Current Chiapas Situation

	Zapatista Army of National Liberation decides on the death of the Aguascalientes
		The zapatistas have received many offers to buy their consciences, and they keep up their resistance nonetheless, making their poverty (for he who learns to see) a lesson in dignity and generosity.
		The zapatista communities are in charge of the projects (not a few NGOs can testify to that), they get them up and running, they make them produce and thus improve the collectives, not the individuals.
		The zapatista communities are committed to this effort, and they have demonstrated, not a few times, that they can do it better than those who call themselves the government.

	IRC Americas Program An Uprising Against the Inevitable
		Today the Zapatistas' criticisms of the electoral campaigns have taken on a sharper tone as part of the new strategy to articulate the left and because they view the current process as a siren's call that pulls progressive forces into an electoral process that continues to be fundamentally flawed and essentially illegitimate.
		But the Zapatista word and the movement itself cannot be reduced to a propaganda machine and the accusations of that reflect fear and in some cases envy more than a careful reading of the reality.
		Since then, and in the context of the switch from military to political means of social change, the Zapatistas have deepened their commitment to building alternatives that empower from the grassroots rather than controlling, competing for, or often even confronting the formal power of the state.

		And there were the armies, looking for us and throwing their bombs and bullets at us, and then they were making plans to kill off all the indigenous at one time, because they did not know who was a zapatista and who was not.
		Then, like the zapatistas we are, we thought that it was not enough to stop engaging in dialogue with the government, but it was necessary to continue on ahead in the struggle, in spite of those lazy parasites of politicians.
		For some time now the "committees" (which is what we call them) have been preparing an entire new generation of comandantes and comandantas who, following a period of instruction and testing, are beginning to learn the work of organizational leadership and to discharge their duties.

		Today, in response to the current election process, the zapatistas express our support for respect for this kind of civil and peaceful struggle, and in which all political options (the right and the left, to use geographical terms) are represented, in such a way that the citizen can truly choose among them.

		Comitan, Chiapas (August 21) -- The Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) denounced that the federal government is executing a new military strategy, whose objective is to take new army positions in the Selva Lacandona and to resolve the conflict in Chiapas through violence.
		Comandante Tacho stated that the Mexican Army is advancing across the zapatista communities, who are opposed to the construction of a highway between San Quintin and Amador Hernandez, in the municipality of Ocosingo, because "they do not want the presence of more troops" who harass and impact on the lives of the indigenous peoples.
		The highways are used by the Army in order to increase their patrols and harassment," reaffirmed Comandante Tacho, one of the main leaders of the EZLN, during an interview with representatives from human rights organizations from the United States.
