CNI – EZLN: We do not forget our dead, imprisoned, and disappeared.

The war against our indigenous peoples has gone on for more than 520 years. Capitalism was born of the blood of our peoples and the millions of our brothers and sisters who died during the European invasion. We must also add those who died in the wars of independence and reform, with the imposition of liberal laws, during the rule of Porfirio Diaz, and in the revolution.

EZLN and CNI announce the First Great World Festival of Rebellions and Resistances

“Where those from above destroy, we from below rebuild”

The Indigenous National Congress and the Zapatista Army of National Liberation, meeting together for 6 days in Caracol 1 of La Realidad, widely denounced the different dispossessions against the indigenous peoples throughout the national territory. “This dispossession has a name and that name is capitalism,” said Venustiano Vázquez Navarrete, delegate from the Wixarika people, who along with Miriam Vargas, read the first of the closing statements.

In this event Armando García Salazar, belonging to ñ’hañhú people, read a communiqué announcing the call to the First Great World Festival of Rebellions and Resistances, which will be held on the days from 21 December this year until 3 January 2015, in 6 states of the country.

Invitation from the EZLN and CNI to the World Festival of Resistances and Rebellions

To the brothers and sisters of the National and International Sixth:

In the gathering of our peoples in the Exchange between Zapatista Peoples and the National Indigenous Congress “David Ruíz Garcia,” we shared with each other our pain as well as our words and experiences of struggle, rebellion, and resistance.

Together we know that within our rebellions is our “NO” to the politics of destruction that capitalism carries out across the world. And we know that within our resistances are the seeds of the world that we want.

These rebellions and resistances are not just those of the indigenous peoples of Mexico. They are also found in the footsteps of the originary peoples across the continent and in all corners of the earth where individuals, groups, collectives, and organizations not only say “NO” to destruction, but go about constructing something new.

Homage to the compañero DAVID RUIZ GARCÍA during the Exchange between Indigenous Peoples and Zapatista Peoples

Words of the National Indigenous Congress compañero Armando García Salazar, of the hñahñu´ people of San Francisco Xochicuautla, in homage to the deceased compañero DAVID RUIZ GARCÍA during the Exchange between Indigenous Peoples and Zapatista Peoples, August 4, 2014.

AND

TWO SHORT CHRONICLES OF THE HOMAGE.

I. Words of compañero Armando García Salazar on behalf of the family and compañeros of the deceased compañero David Ruiz García.

Good morning everyone.

Good morning brothers, sisters, grandparents, children, and all of the compas who represent this movement.

Two months ago a nephew, a son, came to these lands in support of our brother Galeano. Unfortunately he suffered an accident upon his return.

Out of eagerness to defend justice and indigenous rights, he had been part of this movement for eight years. He very much wanted to come meet the Zapatista brothers, and to be frank, shake the hand of Subcomandante Marcos. It was his greatest desire. And he fulfilled it. He came to La Realidad.

Unfortunately, destiny is like this. Today, despite this, we, his brothers and his relatives, are here again. We will not retreat; David would have wanted us to go forward.

Querid@s herman@s:

Con motivo del homenaje al compañero Galeano el 24 de este mes, en el Caracol de La Realidad, corazón de la resistencia zapatista, reciban el más fraterno y solidario de los saludos. Quienes hemos acompañado sus luchas, ahora como egresados del curso La Libertad según l@s Zapatistas y ponentes del pospuesto seminario “La ética frente al despojo”, comunicamos a ustedes que hacemos propios su dolor y su rabia ante la cobarde agresión paramilitar en La Realidad, que resultó en el brutal asesinato del Votán Galeano, en heridos y en la destrucción de la clínica y la escuela de la comunidad autónoma. Este ataque revela el odio del mal gobierno contra la palabra y acción liberadora que los zapatistas representan en el mundo entero. El asesinato de nuestro hermano Galeano deja al descubierto la guerra de los poderosos en contra de la autonomía que el EZLN ha venido construyendo pacíficamente durante estos 20 años.

Reciban nuestro abrazo de adhesión y compromiso con la lucha que representan, de quienes podamos acompañarles físicamente el 24 de este mes en ese homenaje, y de quienes desde nuestras respectivas geografías estaremos manifestándonos a través de diversos actos solidarios.
