The United States is directly responsible for the Genocide in Guatemala. America encouraged, supported and armed the DEATH SQUADS. ronald reagan is a low life peace of scum. He knew very well what was going on in Guatemala and continued his policies in Guatemala.

Many people are still very scared. So many have great courage. Every person n Guatemala needs to know the details of what happened, and American children also need to learn what their leaders so often support, not just then, now too

For it to take 30 yrs. before anyone is brought to justice for such terrible crimes is an atrocity in itself. To know that the current president was a general in the army & once worked under “Montt” would scare the heck out of me if I was an active member in the coming proceedings. I’m sure that he had to be an active member in the mass killings, if he served in the military during this time period there is no way he wasn’t.

Good story, BUT it is absolutely erroneous to call the indigenous caught up in the conflict ‘communist rebels”. What a fallacy to let that ride!
