Lord Haw-Haw through the eyes of someone who didn't see him as a traitor. But we begin today in Central America where ever since the days of the Spanish conquistadors, the native peoples have had to engage in a bitter often violent struggle to assert their rights. One key moment occurred in Mexico on New Year's Day in 1994. It was on that morning that the people of the region awoke to the surprising news that a group of armed revolutionaries had seized control of several towns across the southern state of Chiapas. They were demanding recognition of and a better deal for the local indigenous people. They called themselves "the Zapatista army of national liberation". But this was a revolution which played out in an unusual way. Mike Lantion reports.
It's January 1st, 1994. And in Mexico the new year has brought some dramatic news.
"The thousand or more armed men who fought in this revolt are mainly Mayan Indians and impoverished peasants, protesting at what they call capitalist oppression. The leadership of their self-proclaimed Zapatista army of liberation seemingly coming from organised Marxist revolutionaries."
Father Gonzalo Ituarte is in the colonial town of San Cristobal de las Casas high up in the mountains of Chiapas state. He's one of the first to realise that armed rebels have entered the town.
