EZLN
Issued on January 1st, 1996, the Fourth Declaration of the Lacandona Jungle declared “the flower of the word will not die.” The government launched a large-scale military operation to capture the EZLN leadership in February 1995, and failed. With the EZLN evading capture, they re-grouped and announced the formation of a new political front – The Zapatista Front of National Liberation, again re-iterating their desire to see a peaceful political outcome to the conflict.
