In the last two months a new wave of violence has begun in Chiapas. Several indigenous communities have been attacked by paramilitary militias with handguns and machetes, leaving four dead, dozens wounded, and forcing the population to flee into the mountains without the resources necessary for survival. Simultaneously, the Supreme Court of Mexico has thrown out more than 300 constitutional complaints against an indigenous rights bill that directly undermines the San Andres Accords, which were the fruits of years of peace negotiations.
