The Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional (EZLN) is a revolutionary leftist group based in Chiapas, Mexico, founded in 1983. The group is best known for its armed struggle against the Mexican government, which began in 1994 with the Zapatista uprising. The EZLN is led by Subcomandante Marcos, a mysterious figure who has become a symbol of the struggle for indigenous rights in Mexico. The group is composed of mostly indigenous people from the Mayan communities of Chiapas, and its goals include autonomy for indigenous people, land reform, and social justice. The EZLN has been involved in a number of peace negotiations with the Mexican government, and has become a major force in Mexican politics.
