During the end of 2003 and the beginning of 2004, the 20th year aniversary since the EZLN (National Liberation Zapatista Army) was founded and 10th year aniversary since the beginning of the struggle was celebrated in the Zapatista Autonomous Lands, in Mexico and in the rest of the world.

Through discussions and debates, civil societies in Mexico and around the world have tried to understand what really happend in the rebel territories of Chiapas and how the creation of the 'buen govierno', where the people who govern obey the will of their people, has changed indigenous lives.
