Pancho watched the men run back from the railway line and motioned for them to lie down in the undergrowth. The charges had been set just in time, already the hoot of a steam engine could be heard faintly in the distance. A few minutes later the huge train could be seen steadily moving towards the men’s position. “On my signal” whispered Pancho, the anticipation showing in his voice. Now that the train was only 100 metres away, Pancho raised his arm above his head brought it down quickly, at this signal, someone pushed down the plunger and a deafening explosion rang out across the valley, quickly followed by the terrible screeching of the trains brakes as it plunged off the tracks into the river…
Northern Rebellion Leaves Hundreds Dead
The Northern provinces have now risen up in open rebellion against the government, led by the elusive Pancho Villa. In total three regions have declared their intention to bring down President Diaz and his regime. To date Sonora, Baja California Norte and Baja California Sur have risen against the President. Pancho’s guerrilla campaign against government forces has so far been successful, the army being unable to bring him to open battle. Fierce fighting has broken out in Mexicali and Los Mochis, and a number of foreign nationals are thought to have been killed.
Farmers Join Rebel Cause
As well as the northern campaign, many farmers to the south of the country have also risen up against the government, seeing this as the perfect opportunity to reclaim their ancestral lands. These lands have recently been confiscated by the government and set aside for industry. However at the moment these rebels are suffering at the hands of the government, as they do not have access to modern weapons. However what they lack in arms they make up in brutality, as only yesterday a number of farmers hanged the governor of Chiapas province along with his whole family.
Jalisco Province Rises After Second Riot
Only last year the Mexico City Times reported the horrific riots In Guadalajara, where many innocent civilians were massacred. However the government’s use of violence has not stopped more protests. Again a crowd had gathered in the city centre, however this time they were intent on causing as much trouble as possible, and many had brought weapons. As the army began to force people back to their homes a shot was fired into the crowd. As soon as this had happened the protesters turned on the soldiers, who were forced to retreat.
President Issues Speech
“Loyal people of Mexico, I come to you with grievous news, over the last weeks, a number of treacherous provinces have risen up in rebellion against the good people of our fair country.”
“The rebels have already slaughtered countless people, I ask that you, the people of Mexico join with me in a promise to not cease fighting until every one of these traitors have been sent to the grave. To the international community, I say that this is Mexico’s, problem, and it shall be dealt with by Mexicans. Any foreign army that sets foot on Mexican ground will be treated as invaders.”
However the leader of Mexico’s fledgling Liberal party, Francisco Madero Gonzales, has asked for “Any country that values freedom to please be prepared to send us aid”
The current situation: Loyal provinces are shown in pink whilst rebel ones are coloured yellow.
