TUXTLA GUTIÉRREZ, Chis., (April) .- The priest of the church of Simojovel, Marcelo Pérez Pérez, announced that there were already three dead and hundreds of displaced people from the community of Chavajeval, municipality of El Bosque, where he settled an inter-communal conflict.

That is why he solicited the help of all civil and governmental groups in this humanitarian crisis.

Perez Perez, also vicar of the pastoral care of the diocese of San Cristobal de Las Casas, said that since Wednesday, January 7, the exodus of the inhabitants of Chavajeval began after a clash between its inhabitants.

The conflict escalated after October 24 was ambushed and Miguel Pérez López, commissioner of Chavajeval ejidal, was shot. Beside him, Carmelino de Jesús Ruiz Álvarez died and two others were shot and wounded. It happened one kilometer before arriving in this community.

Priest Marcelo Perez Perez declared that no authority had reached Chavajeval. That is why, accompanied by the parish priest of El Bosque, "Father Helder", they ventured to surrender, Saturday 10, in this community located in the Highlands of Chiapas to see what happened.

"There we found a dead man without a head, without arms, the pigs ate it, we sent to bring his coffin, we also find abandoned elderly people and we take them to the head of El Bosque.

"We went on Sunday 11 and found a man with five days without eating, several dead animals, we also found a 110 year old woman and we took her to the parish house," said the parish priest.

Before the rumor that other displaced people were reportedly kidnapped in the nearby community of Tierra Caliente, they came to see her and discovered that there were about 400 displaced people "but it is not true that they were not safe. they are removed, "he said.

"I want you to eat corn, a bean medicine, and I invite you in your parishes and organizations to do solidarity in prayer and food gathering." Father Helder will tell you where to take it if he is in the parish house or on burning ground, "said Father Marcelo Pérez Pérez.

"There are even more displaced people elsewhere whom we still have to identify and visit, especially in the communities of Chalchihuitan, Chenalho, Simojovel and San Cristobal, where they went to take refuge," he said.

In addition to these displaced people from Tierra Caliente, another 500 are in the municipal capital.

Mayor Viridiana Hernandez, of the neighboring municipality of El Bosque, sent aid last Monday to the displaced people of the municipality's headquarters, as well as to the state government, but help is always insufficient.
