Las agresiones a las comunidades zapatistas son cada vez sistemáticamente más violentas y continuas y los actos de provocación contra el EZLN parecen más que obvios. De ahí la necesidad de organizar una Brigada de Observación y Solidaridad para recabar datos, registrar el ambiente y mostrar que nuestros compañeros zapatistas no están solos. La Brigada, que contó con 57 brigadistas, visitó cuatro de los cinco caracoles zapatistas del 28 de agosto al 1 de septiembre (17 fueron al caracol de La Realidad, 12 a Oventik, 16 a La Garrucha y 12 a Morelia). El 2 de septiembre, en conferencia de prensa en en Centro de Derechos Humanos Fray Bartolomé de Las Casas, las y los brigadistas relataron la situación en las comunidades zapatistas.

On today’s show, we examine the new geography of war in the context of the “old” geography of Chiapas. We talk with a compa of ours on the ground in Chiapas, who reports on some of the most recent clashes of the low-intensity war in Mitzitón, Bachajón, and Tila. We use these events, and the bigger picture in which they take place, to help us frame the conversation about the new letter from Subcomandante Marcos: “Notes on War.”
