URGENTE: EJÉRCITO HOSTIGA CODEDI
Hoy, en la tarde de lunes 29 de octubre, elementos de la Marina Militar están subiendo en convoy rumbo al Centro de Capacitación CODEDI, ex Finca Alemania en la sierra sur zapoteca. La provocación militar se da mientras cientos de personas del Comité por la Defensa de los Derechos Indígenas (CODEDI) están realizando una movilización frente el aeropuerto de Huatulco, Oaxaca, para exigir justicia por los 5 defensores comunitarios asesinados en lo que va del año y por fincar las responsabilidades de la muerte de Mardelia Rocibel Cervantes, de 22 años, fallecida por negligencia médica en el hospital de Huatulco.
Cabe mencionar que el pasado 25 de octubre fue acribillado Noel Castillo Aguilar, de 44 años, integrante del CODEDI y defensor de la playa de su comunidad contra los intereses mafiosos y empresariales.
La ausencia de detenidos por los homicidios mencionados y la presencia militar en las cercanías del Centro de Capacitación de la organización son una intimidación contra el derecho de manifestación de los pueblos y vislumbran la complicidad entre los aparatos estatales y los sicarios del crimen organizado.
Pedimos a todas las organizaciones solidarias estar atentas y al pendiente contra cualquier provocación y represión de las fuerzas militares y policiacas.

Joint Communique from the CNI, CIG, and EZLN Rejecting the NAIM (New International Airport of Mexico) and Voicing Support for and Solidarity with Migrant Populations
October 26, 2018
To the People of Mexico:
To the People of the World:
To the National and International Sixth:
To the CIG Support Networks:
The peoples, nations, tribes, and barrios of the National Indigenous Congress (CNI) and the Zapatista Army for National Liberation (EZLN) respectfully address the Mexican people and the originary peoples and campesinos who wage dignified resistance against the death-driven megaproject called the New International Airport of Mexico (NAIM). These peoples have sustained hope without giving up, giving in, or selling out, and they are a light for all of us who dream of and work to build justice.
We also respectfully address those who have been forced to seek in other lands what was stolen from them in their own geographies; those who migrate in search of life, as well as those who, without self-interest and in their own ways, times, and means, support those migrants.

We have seen, lived, and closely followed the struggle of the peoples of the Texcoco Lake and the surrounding areas. We have witnessed their determination, dignity and pain, which have also been ours. We have not forgotten the repression in May 2006 which included sexual torture; the unjust imprisonment of compañeros and compañeras of the Frente de Pueblos en Defensa de la Tierra (People’s Front in Defense of the Land) and of the national and international Sixth; and the murder of our compañero Ollin Alexis Benhumea and 14-year-old Francisco Javier Cortés Santiago. Vicente Fox and Enrique Peña Nieto gave the order for this repression with the full approval of the entire political spectrum from above, including those who today claim to represent “change.”
