| Commandanta Ramona's Photo Surfaces Five Years After She Dies |
| 2011-03-07 |
| Photo can be found here. The front cover of the upcoming issue of Rebeldia magazine, will have a photo montage showing the image of Commandantes Ramona and Hugo. Rebeldia is a publication of the Mexican Ejercito Zapatista de Liberacion Nacional (EZLN). the indigenous communist movement in southern Mexico. Photos showing the faces of senior leaders of the EZLN are rare. The face of subcommandante Marcos, the group's leader have never been shown except showing him wearing a black balaclava. The EZLN has been inactive since its last combat operations in 1994. Commandante Ramona died of kidney cancer in 2006 after an 11 year fight with the disease. Like Marcos, her face has never been shown in photos and was even then usually masked by a black balaclava. Francisco Gomez Hernandez or Commander Hugo, died in the Battle of Ocosingo, Chiapas in early January, 1994. The new publication, the first since December 2010, was published in March. |

| #1 You gotta admit it, for being dead for five years, she is holding up pretty well. I mean really. |
