Not quite so...this group has been together since the 80's and were known in 1994 in a small uprising, pretty much their's is a fight for the fairness and equality for southern mexican indigenous peoples and for a fight against Neo-Liberalism and globalization and have been very active since the signing of NAFTA. The EZLN, or the Zapatista Army of National Liberation was formed in the beginning and now speak up for the indigenous, an armed, yet non-violent group, primarily for the defense of the indigenous people, villages and themselves. Its not heard a lot because of threat of popular revolution in corrupt mexico.

The voice, Subcomandante Marcos, Speaker for the EZLN embarked with members of EZLN on "The Other Campaign" to gain land and new areas of operations, have indigenous territories that are cared for by mexican gov't and basically try to make the first step toward a new mexico by next year, finally. Their ultimate goal is to change mexican constitution for what sees fit for the indigenous and perhaps all of mexico for the better.
El Comandante Reviewed by El Comandante on . For those familiar with the current Zapatista Revolution in Mexico... Does anyone actually think, "The Other Campaign" is going to accomplish much? I have a feeling if commanders are in place at certain parts of Mexico, there will be secret opposition from Mexican military or by strict law, nothing will turn over so easily even with a new elected president. As for Indigenous representing themselves to be autonomous, will be no easy feat...constitution will never change over there. Thoughts? Rating: 5
