- 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.

Jump To Comment: 1 2the 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.
