The 1994 indigenous armed Zapatista uprising against government state forces and the subsequent crisis was the consequence of human rights abuses against indigenous populations, extreme material deprivation, institutional racism, and revisions to communal land laws. Years of tension ensued with eruptions of violence and a stagnating peace process that created divisions between indigenous communities. Government counterinsurgent methods resulted in disappearances and the forced displacement of indigenous communities. The conflict died down by the late 2010s but ongoing violence continues to affect Chiapas\u2019s indigenous communities. Armed paramilitary groups, land disputes, forced displacements, inter-group conflicts, and, more recently, the increasing presence and influence of drug cartels have led to a rise in everyday and generalised violence, disappearances, and shootings, forcing many to leave their homes.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_3,1_3,1_3&#8243; make_equal=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#e0af45&#8243; width=&#8221;62%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;1092px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;27px|466px||auto||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;50px|||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/imagingpeace.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Cover8.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Cover8&#8243; show_bottom_space=&#8221;off&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|||28px|false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Actor|&#8211;et_global_body_font_weight|||||||&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; header_5_font=&#8221;Antic Slab|&#8211;et_global_heading_font_weight|||||||&#8221; header_5_font_size=&#8221;15px&#8221; width=&#8221;99.9%&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;27px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;2px|0px||58px||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Tajimal K\u2019in ta Tenejapa \/ Carnaval en Tenejapa, a Tseltal Community in Chiapas<br \/><strong>\u00a9 Petul Hern\u00e1ndez Guzm\u00e1n, 2006<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/imagingpeace.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Cover7.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Cover7&#8243; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||21px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Actor|&#8211;et_global_body_font_weight|||||||&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; header_5_font=&#8221;Antic Slab|&#8211;et_global_heading_font_weight|||||||&#8221; header_5_font_size=&#8221;15px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;2px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;2px|0px||58px||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">X Chumty\u00e4l.
