Sierra Sur de Oaxaca: minería y resistencia popular

Hace 15 años, los habitantes de la Sierra Sur comenzaron a preo­cuparse porque se enteraron de que el gobierno federal había otorgado varias concesiones en sus territorios. De acuerdo con la información que se publicó en el año de 1998, el proyecto minero Tehuantepec contemplaba la explotación de minerales en Santa María Zaniza, Santiago Textitlán, San Jacinto Tlacotepec, Santo Domingo Teojomulco, San Lorenzo Texmelucan y Santa María Lachixio, es decir, la mayor parte de la región. Ahora saben que ese proyecto es impulsado por Altos Hornos de México (AHMSA), la siderúrgica más grade del país, que cuenta con concesiones mineras localizadas en el municipio zapoteco de Santa María Zaniza, y en la comunidad de Río Humo, perteneciente al municipio de Santiago Textitlán, con una reserva de 457 millones de toneladas de hierro, situación que la convierte en una de las más grandes del mundo. Sacando 10 millones de toneladas anuales, llevaría 45 años terminar de hacerlo.
