Where To Start

Sorry for lack of updates. bogged down with finals week and there is so much going on, it's hard to decide what even to post. More buildings burned yesterday. APPO gave up new encampment at Santo Domingo, due to the PFP now being stationed there. Ruiz is still an idiot and insisting nothing was happening. Even had a victory party at the park, from what I understand. He has some serious karmic returns coming his way, I'm sure. If this is what you call doing what's best for your city...well, that's just fucked. Clearly, he is being delusional. I'm not totally convinced his resignation would bring about change, or would end this...but it'd be a start. News now, or, actually, earlier today, says that PFP will try to take radio universidad again. I was there when they tried the first time. People will defend the last radio stronghold, for sure. It will get ugly. Many detained, imprisoned. Something around 300? Lists are still being accumulated. State and Municipal police have returned. When there two weeks ago, it was heavily occupied. Now...it's triple that. There's no order. And there's no safety. Civilians being picked up off the street. Meanwhile, my thoughts are with my friends, with Hector, as they try to live, day by day, through this mess. For more newsy, less-emotional, frustrated, update, check: narconews.com, oaxacapolitico.com, IndyMedia Mexico, etc. abrazos. Ciao.
