The Mexican Insurgent Army (Spanish: Ejército Insurgente Mexicano, EIM) was a short-lived far-left guerrilla group that operated between 1968 and 1969 in the Lacandon Jungle region of Chiapas, Mexico. It was founded by left-wing newspaper editor Mario Menéndez and Ignacio González Ramírez.
González was responsible for the group’s urban operations and led an affiliated cell known as the Revolutionary Struggle Committee (Spanish: Comité de Lucha Revolucionaria).
Mario Menéndez wrote the left-wing magazine called, Por Que? and Por Eso!
