Zapatistas' Marcos Will Head Back to Magdalena
 Arizona Daily Star
Zapatistas' Subcomandante Marcos will be back in Magdalena de Kino, Sonora, for the second time in six months Sunday.
The Zapatista revolution's masked celebrity spokesman and 10 comandantes from Chiapas are scheduled to be in this town about 50 miles south of the U.S. border Sunday to announce the details of the Indigenous Intercontinental Conference, scheduled for the fall of 2007 in northwest Mexico.
On Oct. 21, Marcos spoke to a crowd of more than 250 people packed inside a manger as part of a town hall tour, dubbed "The Other Campaign," that took him to indigenous communities throughout Mexico.
The Zapatista revolution began in the southernmost tip of Mexico on Jan. 1, 1994, the same day the North American Free Trade Agreement took effect. It is a self-declared war against the Mexican government in the name of indigenous rights. |
