“Owners of gas stations, hotels, supermarkets and other businesses in Oaxaca City were launching a two-day strike to pressure the government into sending federal police against leftist protesters who have besieged the town for over three months.

Local business leaders said more than 2,000 establishments would close their doors for 48 hours at the end of business Wednesday, an announcement that triggered panic buying by residents who waited in long lines to stock up on food, gasoline and other supplies.”
