In the 1970s, the Independent Federation of Agricultural Workers and Peasants (CIOAC) organized agricultural workers into unions on coffee and cattle ranches to demand an awareness of indigenous identity and politics, including recognition for indigenous languages, government, and religion. Founded in the late 1960s with the support of Mexico’s now defunct Communist Party, the CIOAC split into two branches in 2000 and now has close ties to the nation’s three main political parties. The conflict between the CIOAC and the Zapatistas reportedly began in 2011 when the former group began receiving aid from the federal government.

Groups and individuals included in TRAC's database range from actual perpetrators of social or political violence to more passive groups that support or condone (perhaps unwittingly) such violence. The spectrum of violence represented by these groups is vast, from Jihadists who bomb train stations to financial institutions that transfer funds. Some groups that originally engaged in violence but have since become legitimate political parties are included to provide historical perspective. TRAC is in no way attempting to determine whether groups or individuals are terrorists -- only to convey reported information about their activities and official State status. While TRAC attempts to ensure the accuracy of its TRAC database, the entries in the database are from numerous different sources. Hence, TRAC cannot and does not warrant the accuracy of the entries in its database. The editors of TRAC may modify these entries at any time and welcome comments and suggested corrections or additions. Please write [email protected] or hit the "SUBMIT ADDITIONS" button on the page of the group profile about which you wish to comment.
