Simon Jones of the IMG explained that "The Mexican government has been fighting a low intensity war against the Zapatista rebels, since the uprising in January 1994. It now emerges that, as well as defending the interests of big landowners, the government is also after oil and gas deposits under the indigenous lands of the Lacandon Forest. More and more troops are being sent into the region and the repression is increasing." The Irish Mexico Group was set up in 1995 to inform people in Ireland about the Zapatistas and their struggle. The group also coordinates a peace camp in Chiapas and is looking for volunters to go to Chiapas as human rights observers.
