Mexico City Quiet After Student Strife and Troop Invasion
In Mexico City a quiet night followed days of clashes as authorities prep for a likely troop withdrawal from the University of Mexico campus within three days. Rector Barros Sierra, who resigned over the troops’ invasion, accepted the University Council’s decision to remain, while officials predict most of the 80,000 students will return to classes for the Olympic period starting Oct. 12. The government cites indications that any incidents during the Games will be isolated, and the student strike demands include police resignations, anti-subversion law repeal, and reaffirmation of university autonomy amid a deadly wave of violence that left at least 15 dead.
