Pueblos Indígenas
(Español) Denuncia urgente por ataque armado a comunidades del CIPOG-EZ.
Desde el Concejo Indígena y Popular de Guerrero Emiliano Zapata, denunciamos que en estos momentos tarde noche del sábado 20 de Julio del 2019, varios comandos armados del grupo narcoparamilitar de los «Ardillos» sitiaron la comunidad de Tula Guerrero. Llevan ya varias horas de ataque armado y la balacera no ha parado. En este momentos desconocemos el número de hermanos heridos o asesinados.
Por lo tanto urgimos a las autoridades locales, estatales y federales que intervengan inmediatamente para evitar una masacre. A las organizaciones nacionales e internacionales solidarias y defensores de los derechos humanos les solicitamos demandar al estado mexicano su inmediata intervención para evitar una masacre contra nuestros hermanos y hermanas indígenas nahuas de la comunidad de Tula.
Atentamente:
Concejo Indígena y Popular de Guerrero – Emiliano Zapata.

We who subscribe this letter – workers in the social sciences, the arts and the humanities, activists and feminists – we come together to express our genuine concern for what is happening in Mexico and specifically for what is happening in Chiapas and in the indigenous regions where the Zapatistas, members of the original people, tribes and nations that are part of the National Indigenous Congress (CNI) live.
The incarnate struggle of resistance against capitalism, machismo and patriarchy of the Zapatistas and the National Indigenous Congress (CNI) have inspired and continues to inspire us. Their struggle is like a mirror where we can reflect, that encourages us to walk in an incarnated way, in our own places, times and ways, in our own struggles for autonomy and against all those dominations, violences, dispossessions, discriminations and exploitations that manifest in a thousand forms in indigenous and not indigenous territories.
We are actively awaiting and walking in many places and sharing what we have (un)learned looking at your 25 and 500 years of collective resistances.
We add our voice to those who affirm that the current Mexican government’s strategy is one strategy of war more than for security and we agree with the criticisms against ongoing Mexican nationalist development projects for the Mayan region and the Tehuantepec Isthmus (Istmo de Tehuantepec). We are outraged by the murder of women, young people; and indigenous and black communities’ leaders in México and all over Abya Yala.
All of this not only worries us, but also encourages us to carry out different actions in different spaces as our incarnate support to the Jornadas por la Vida contra la Guerra (Campaign for Life and against the War).
That is why we shout with a strong collective voice: !The war against the Zapatistas, the CNI members and the indigenous and black peoples of all over Abya Yala, must stop now!
