What's going on in Mexico? #YaMeCansé Explained (The Guardian)

Hundreds of thousands of people throughout the country are expected to hit the streets once more to demand justice for the missing students.

Today, demands in support of Ayotzinapa and against President Enrique Peña Nieto’s government will be taken up one 100 years after two revolutionary generals signed a pact to to struggle against tyranny in Mexico.

A march and horseback ride that is also part of a current struggle for land, water and life, will proceed from the the Rotunda of Illustrious Men to the neighborhood of San Lucas Xodhimanca in Xochimilco, Mexico City.

Campesino organizations will pour corn into the Mexico City Zocalo, forming the number 43, in an action demanding that the disappeared Ayotzinapa students be brought back alive, and also protesting the low prices of agricultural products.

On Friday, December 5, farmers grouped in El Barzon will drive 43 tractors from the Angel of Independence to Mexico City’s main square Zocalo – in front of the presidential National Palace – and then go on to the Ministry of the Interior to protest the forced disappearance of the 43 students in Iguala, Guerrero last September 26.

On Saturday, December 6, a hundred years after 50,000 soldiers commanded by Villa and Zapata filled the streets of the nation’s capital, family members of the 43 disappeared students will lead thousands of people in a march from the Angel of Independence to the Zocalo.
