Abstract
The recent massacre of villagers in Chiapas by a landlordist paramilit ary army while the police looked on, is just one in a series of occurr ences directed at wiping out the social and political support base of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) which had in January 1994 led the Chiapas uprising and had forced the Mexican state to sign the San Andreas peace accord. The state has done little to implement the terms of the accord.
