Don't we wish it was all over... but it is not, and wishful thinking will not make it so.

20,000 leftist demonstrators, many of them from outside of Oaxaca, marched Sunday November 5 and demanded the resignation of Gov. Ulises Ruiz.

A coalition of five "resistance groups" demanding the resignation of Governor Ruiz set off six coordinated bombs in Mexico City early morning November 6, two of which failed to detonate. The bombs caused property damage at several locations, including the electoral commission and PRI headquarters.

Claims of responsibility and demands were sent to the media, including the Associated Press; the groups indicated they would continue such "military actions" until Ruiz resigns. "Our political-military action is a response to our determination to reply with revolutionary violence to the violence unleashed by the lords of power and money," said the statement.

This is a nasty escalation of violence, now extended to Mexico City itself. I reiterate - it is not over; travel but be cautious.
