In Mexico, hundreds of thousands of protesters marched in the city of Oaxaca on Sunday calling for the resignation of governor Ulises Ruiz and for federal police to leave the city. Supporters came from throughout Mexico including a caravan of over 100 cars, trucks and buses from Mexico City. The protest came eight days after Mexican President Vicente Fox sent thousands of federal police officers into the city to crush the popular uprising in Oaxaca. But the police have been unable to take control of more than the city square. Meanwhile on Sunday morning gunmen opened fire on a student protester outside the university radio station. The 22-year-old Marcos Sanchez Martinez was reported to be in critical condition.
