On September 26, 2014, forty-three students from the Ayotzinapa
Rural Teachers' College were forcibly abducted in Iguala,
Guerrero, Mexico.
The Ayotzinapa massacre exhibits the profound ongoing crisis.
Brutality is exerted against rural, indigenous and working-class
communities — seen as surplus populations within the sanguinary
circuit of capitalist accumulation.

At a rally in Mexico City, after a strong storm, those gathered to
demand the truth regarding the whereabouts of the 43 students torn by
the claws of the Mexican State 95 months ago released a communiqué where
they informed their position regarding the report presented by the
State-sponsored /Commission for Truth and Access to Justice of the
Ayotzinapa/Case CVAJA.
They acknowledge in the official recognition that the assault was
authored by the state, corroborated by networks of complicity that
operated in the forced disappearances. Nevertheless, they deemed the
results insufficient, as the path for answers has been plagued by
obstruction and impunity.
The communiqués have been translated by taller ahuehuete

8 years of struggle for the truth
/Mexico City,
August 26, 2022. /
The mothers and fathers of the forty-three disappeared students of
Ayotzinapa salute all organizations and people who, in many different
ways, have joined our demand for the presentation, alive, of our children.
It has been almost eight years. We have suffered, bitterly, and cried
tears of blood due to the disappearance of our children. The darkness
continues, the dawn does not seem nearby the horizon. It is as if time
had stopped that rainy and dark night of September 26, 2014.
On September 17, the /Commission for Truth and Access to Justice/in the
Ayotzinapa case presented a report.
For us, the report is relevant because it contains certain elements. For
once, the recognition that the events of September 26 were authored by
the Mexican State. This is significant. It shows that various government
entities participated in the disappearance of our children, and that
they should be investigated and punished.
The participation of bureaucrats was finally documented. At least four
municipalities surrounding Iguala, alongside federal police, and
elements of the 27th and 48th infantry battalion, as well as the 35th
military zone were involved.
The events in Ayotzinapa are complex. Ayotzinapa involved the collusion
of various state corporations and criminal groups that were allowed to
control and direct the cowardly attack against our children.
The whereabouts and the fate of our children have not been clarified,
there is preliminary technical proof that must be analyzed under the
highest scientific rigor for us to feel at peace. Mothers and fathers
need indubitable scientific proof of the fate of our children.
We cannot go home with preliminary indications that do not fully clear
up where they are and what happened to them.
On the other hand, the arrest and indictment of Mr. Jesus Murillo Karam
represent a step forward on the road to access to justice.
Today, the judge handling the case proved us right. Murillo Karam
conducted a murky, irregular investigation. It was plagued with torture,
manipulation, and polluted evidence, thus constructing a lie that
prevented us from knowing the whereabouts of our children.
If other lines of investigation had been explored a few days after the
disappearances, the success of finding out the whereabouts could have
been more objective, however, the criminal and human actions of this
gentleman and other officials prevented it.
Therefore, it is important not to let the actions of such officials go
unpunished, so we will be filing charges against this person.
For our part, we will continue to demand the presentation of our 43
alive. We cannot give up the struggle until we have full proof of their
whereabouts. It will be painful for our families to know of their fate,
especially if they are dead, but if we receive objective, comprobable
and indubitable proof, we will go home to mourn them and proceed with
our mourning. To date we do not have this proof, therefore, our demand
and struggle continue.
The report of the president of the CoVAJ opens new routes of
investigation, search and exercise of the action that competent
bureaucratic channels must follow and exhaust.
We call on all people, the people of Mexico to raise their voices so
that the Ayotzinapa case is not forgotten and does not remain under
impunity. It is up to this generation to fight for truth and avenge the
pain, so that atrocious events like ours do not continue to happen.
ATTENTIVELY,
BECAUSE THEY WERE TAKEN ALIVE, WE WANT THEM ALIVE!
Committee of Mothers and Fathers of the 43

*An update:*
As parents of the 43 disappeared students, we reaffirm our commitment to
fight for the safe return of our children; for the thousands of missing
persons throughout the country, and for other struggles of rural and
urban workers being fought throughout the length and breadth of the nation.
Today we have learned through the media and social networks that Felipe
de la Cruz, who for a while accompanied our struggle, has registered as
a candidate for federal deputy for the State of Guerrero, on a
plurinominal basis.
In this regard, we state that he has the full right to exercise his
political participation and political campaigning process. However, it
is important to clarify that this is a personal decision, which was not
shared or consulted with us, as parents of the 43 missing students.
Therefore, he does not represent our movement.
We disassociate ourselves from all the activities he carries out, and
express that we will not allow the cause of the 43 and our pain to be
used for electoral purposes and political interests.
*Our struggle is not guided or motivated by partisan or other reasons
other than to find our 43 children, as well as to achieve the truth and
justice.*
*We emphasize our commitment to continue the struggle from below for the
presentation of our children alive and not for public office and we will
continue in this line. We dissociate ourselves from any partisan action
that any person may carry out.*
Because they were taken alive, we want them alive!
Attentively,
/Committee of Mothers and Fathers of the 43 Missing Students of Ayotzinapa/

/Ayotzinapa, Guerrero
August 30, 2022/
On the 28th of this month, some people called for a march in Iguala to
demand the release of José Luis Abarca, responsible for the forced
disappearance of the 43 students of the Rural Normal School of Ayotzinapa.
Unfortunately, five parents of the missing students responded to the
invitation of Pedro Segura, a cattle rancher linked to the Abarca family
and their criminal group¹.
In this regard, we state that the attendance of these parents was on an
individual basis, in no way did they represent the collective of the
Fathers and Mothers of the 43.
It is clear to our movement the responsibility of José Luis Abarca in
the disappearance of our children, according to the evidence in the
investigation, which indicates that he should be punished to the full
extent of the law for having committed serious violations and for having
truncated 43 lives of young people who had the hope of becoming teachers.
We deeply regret the death of Mr. Ezequiel Mora Chora, father of the
student Alexander Mora Venancio, who attended the aforementioned march,
where he lost his life in conditions that we consider should be
investigated in detail.
We offer our condolences and solidarity to his family.
*We want to emphasize that Pedro Segura, by orders of the Abarca family
and other power groups, has been approaching some parents for some time
to try to co-opt and divide us.*
The collective of the Fathers and Mothers of the 43 is united and
standing with a unified, intact conviction to continue demanding truth
and justice.
The attempts of division orchestrated by the groups in power and the
mafias will not be able to stop us or undermine our struggle.
It is not and will not be the first time that we suffer these threats;
in the past, caciques and rulers have tried to do so without success.
Our love for our children is infinite and our struggle for justice is
unwavering.
ATTENTIVELY,
/BECAUSE THEY WERE TAKEN ALIVE, WE WANT THEM ALIVE!/
Committee of Mothers and Fathers of the 43

The International Organization for Migration, coinciding with the
International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances, released
its data regarding 2022. An increase of 43% of reported cases was
documented.
Between January and August 2021, 462 migrants disappeared, while in the
same period of this 2022, 618 reports were filed. 6,569 persons in
transit died or disappeared on their journey seeking asylum since 2014,
61% of them on the route to the border with the United States.

"We want to emphasize that Pedro Segura, on orders from the Abarca
family and other power groups, has been approaching some parents for
some time now to co-opt them and divide the collective of mothers and
fathers.
The collective of the 43 mothers and fathers is standing upright and
intact with the conviction to continue the struggle for truth and
justice. The attempts of co-optation and division orchestrated from the
power groups and mafias will not stop the march nor will they undermine
our struggle. It is not the first time that we suffer these attacks; in
the past, caciques and rulers have tried unsuccessfully. Our love for
our children is infinite and our struggle for justice is unwavering,"
the parents of the 43 missing students declared.
