Blockades in Oaxaca still in effect in some area
Oaxaca continues to see more problems with the blockades by the CNTE group. The federal government is once again increasing their rhetoric about use of force, however the last time it was a no go on their part as they airlifted in supplies to key areas via the military and avoided a confrontation. Few people, unfortunately really understand what is happening with this series of actions by the CNTE and the foreign press only reports a few points. It is a long simmering and very complex situation that has been brought to a boil from time to time. Just a heads up that there are more signals that there could be use of force by the Mexican federal government in coming days. Keep in mind that the CNTE have also maintained blockades from time to time in Chiapas, Guerrero, Michoacan, and Veracruz, along with Oaxaca.
