Mexico: Oaxaca Facing Imminent Attack

category international | anti-capitalism | other press author Monday October 02, 2006 19:33author by nancy davis Report this post to the editors

- the rebellion of Oaxaca -

September 30, 2006 - The below is from Nancy Davies, who is based in Oaxaca and writes frequently on the situation there for Narco News. While the threat of a mass attack has seemed to always be in the air, the situation in recent days has really escalated. Now an attack by police and military forces seems imminent.

APPEAL FOR NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL AID

The word I have now is that there are about 5,000 men wearing army uniforms who are not army, but police, culled from other states like Vercruz and Morelia, that is to say, this is a PRI operation, not the federal troops, altho I don't know how our source explains the "naval" helicopters (maybe not?). The "police" are heavily armed, and the attack is supposed to happen around 10:00 PM Oaxaca time. The attack, code name cicloncinco, was revealed by the same person who informed our friend that there would be a drive-by shooting last night, which came true.

la Asamblea Popular de Pueblos de Oaxaca
Our friend says there are already a lot of PRD people gathered in the zocalo, thousands have gathered, apparently including some foreigners including univision and CNN.

Aid is asked for food, water, telephone lines. Only one radio station is still operating

Our friend told us to stay off the streets. Good friend. The one still operating radio station says, stay calm, not respond to acts of aggression which are provocations. Our friend says the city is "surrounded", not sure what that means.

Anybody who can email should do so, to any addresses you have, phone calls, faxes, etc. (cabascal@segob.gov.mx) the message is "no a la repression, si a la destitucion de Ulises Ruiz."

La Jornada has a live feed running on their site. Please disseminate news however you can.

There is still a chance that this is psychological warfare, very tiring. Doesn't look good right now.

author by ipsiphipublication date Wed Oct 04, 2006 23:30author address author phone Report this post to the editors

the Federal Police are a militarised force (complete with naval helicopters). They are mobilised & prepared to take the city. Yes, they are buzzing it everyday - & within the city "normal life" has broken down. In the vacuum a popular assembly, an autonomous community, an anarcho-syndicalist city has emerged.

Out-going president Fox is hedging the order to send in the federal police................ coz more than fingers will be broken.

In-coming president Calderon is not really saying much.

& self-styled "legitimate" president L'obrador is still walking around the city he was once mayor of (mexico city) inviting posh foreign journalists to take him seriously.

This is serious. It is no longer about a corrupt administration or teachers looking for a pay rise. If & when the federal police go in to Oxacoa to restore order, people like us & the sort of people we'd like to think we may be under the right revolutionary circumstances will get hurt.

Some of them will die.
Some of them will get put up against walls & shot.
Others will disappear.
