War in Oaxaca
Categorized under Oaxaca | Tags: Oaxaca
FROM Oaxaca Study Action Group:
The war is on in Oaxaca. It began at 8:00 AM with the gathering of the PFP and an inflitartion [sic] of porros and state police in plain clothes.There are 5,000 PFP and many people if they're out there. The Rector of the universidad has called for unity and deonounced [sic] the federal gov. It is an autonomous community. The radio is calling for pacific resistance but since the feds are using tear gas the poeple [sic] are pissed off and the report is that they are starting to use rocks and sticks.Several people have been arrested and wounded, including three children. ..."

From (right wing and usually annoying blogger) Mark in Mexico:
OK, heavy traffic on my street now as APPistas flee the battle. The helicopter is now circling directly overhead. That means the fleeing APPistas are directly in front of our neighborhood, just on the other side of the two shopping centers. Heavy smell of smoke in the air. The noise from the chopper is drowning out the noise of explosions.
The chopper moves away and I can hear explosions but no sirens. We've run out of ambulances."

The call is out for everyone to resist."

UPDATE: "The APPO has forced the PFP into a retreat from its attempted incursion into the Benito Juarez University. But the war is far from over." —Narcosphere
