MEXICO CITY, Jun 21 (IPS) - A ”red alert” issued by the Zapatista rebels in southern Mexico, with no explanation of either the reasons or the consequences, is apparently linked to unusual recent military movements in the state of Chiapas and a growing presence of paramilitary groups, a human rights organisation said Tuesday.
In the southern state of Chiapas ”a tactical repositioning (of troops) is occurring” as part of a continued low-intensity warfare campaign, the Fray Bartolomé de las Casas Human Rights Centre said in a message sent to IPS. ”In other words,” it added, ”the army is not withdrawing, it is reactivating.”
