The Voice of Major Ana Maria of the EZLN.

SISTERS AND BROTHERS,
from Asia, Africa, Oceania, Europe, and America: welcome to
the mountains of the Mexican Southeast.

We would like to introduce ourselves.
We are the Zapatista National Liberation Army.
We have been living in these mountains, preparing for War.
Within these mountains we created and army.

Down in the cities, in the haciendas, we did not exist.
Our lives were worth less than machines and animals.
We were like rocks, like plants on a path.

We did not have a say.
We did not have a face.
We did not have a name.
We did not have a tommorrow.
We did not exist.
