MEXICO - MARCH 5: Subcomandante Marcos, leader of the Zapatista National Liberation Army (EZLN) or Ejercito Zapatista de Liberacion National, waves to his supporters from a stage, on the way to Mexico City, during the Zapatistas caravan (Zapatur) March 5, 2001 in Mexico. The EZLN came briefly to the world's attention when Subcomandante Marcos led them to attack the authorities in several towns in the Chiapas region of southern Mexico. Since then, hiding from the Mexican authorities in the mountainous jungles of Chiapas, they have fought for the rights of the indigenous people against the Mexican government. In the beginning of 2001, the Zapatistas leader Subcomandante Marcos organized a caravan (tour) with 24 other comandantes (commanders), leaving from their home base in San Cristobal to cross a large part of the country, organizing rallies to spread their message to the people. The caravan went to the Mexican capital, attempting to enter the Parliament to negotiate a peace agreement with the state's leaders. (Photo by Yoray Liberman/Getty Images)
