Different Faces of Dispossession: San Marcos Avilés

.

What happened in San Marcos Avilés?

sma-mujer-1024x683-300x200San Marcos Avilés is an indigenous Tseltal community in the municipality of Chilón, Chiapas, founded after the Zapatista insurgency of 1994. At that time, all of the residents were sympathizers of the autonomous project, although with the passage of time, several of them stopped supporting that movement, leaving a group made up of Support Bases for the Zapatista National Liberation Army (BAEZLN).

In 2010, the BAEZLN agreed to build an Autonomous School for their children. However, disagreement from a group belonging to the Mexican Green Party (PVEM), the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) and the National Action Party (PAN) provoked harassment towards the Zapatistas. In September of the same year, these threats were so severe that they caused the displacement of the community for more than a month in their efforts to avoid being attacked. In October…

The “Daniel Solís Gallardo” National Information Caravan, consisting of parents and relatives of the disappeared normalistas [1] in Iguala Guerrero, will hold a private meeting with comandantes of the Zapatista National Liberation Army (EZLN) and members of the Good Government Juntas.

Omar García, a student at the Raúl Isidro Burgos Teachers College said that they arrived in Chiapas for the purpose of meeting with all the organizations and groups that have shown solidarity and accompaniment to their demand that the 43 students kidnapped and disappeared last September 26 are located.

“One of the objectives of the caravan is the meeting with the Zapatista National Liberation Army, which has carried out two public demonstrations in solidarity with the parents and students…

我咽下一枚铁做的月亮
I swallowed a moon made of iron
他们把它叫做螺丝
They refer to it as a nail
我咽下这工业的废水,失业的订单
I swallowed this industrial sewage, these unemployment documents
那些低于机台的青春早早夭亡
Youth stooped at machines die before their time
我咽下奔波,咽下流离失所
I swallowed the hustle and the destitution
咽下人行天桥,咽下长满水锈的生活
Swallowed pedestrian bridges, life covered in rust
我再咽不下了
I can’t swallow any more
所有我曾经咽下的现在都从喉咙汹涌而出
All that I’ve swallowed is now gushing out of my throat
在祖国的领土上铺成一首
Unfurling on the land of my ancestors
耻辱的诗
Into a disgraceful poem.

‘I swallowed a moon made of iron’ – 19 December 2013, translated by LibCom’s Nao


I came across the work of Xu Lizhi, and couldn’t stop reading. Xu was a worker at Foxconn, the company best known for producing products such as iPhone, BlackBerry, iPad, Kindle, Playstation 4, Xbox One and Wii U in, let’s say, ‘controversial’ working conditions.

Second Danish death attributed to MRSA – The Local

According to SSI’s third quarter report, a patient was hospitalised with a hardening of the arteries and underwent several procedures before dying within 30 days of being infected with MRSA CC398, a variant that can be transmitted from livestock to humans.

 

“There were three new incidences [of MRSA] in the third quarter, one of which ended in death. Throughout all of 2014 there have been six cases of toxaemia in total, two of which ended in death with 30 days,” SSI spokesman Robert Skov told DR.

 

Two leading experts said in August that between 6,000 and 12,000 people are currently infected with MRSA CC398 in Denmark. It has also been found that at least 13 babies whose parents work in the swine industry have been infected with MRSA.
