Description
Civilians and guerrilleros stand and talk at the market in Corinto. A 62-year-old campesino guerrillero talks to a young boy and a woman. Graffiti on a damaged wall reads "Porque somos un pueblo somos invencibles". While the old man is holding an unidentified rifle, the guerrillero on the left of the image is holding an M-16 rifle of U.S. origin. The Department of Morazán, where Corinto is located, was one of the poorest and most remote areas in El Salvador and it was the stronghold of the People's Revolutuonary Army (ERP), one of the five guerrilla factions of the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMNL). By the end of February of 1983 the entire northern Morazán was in the hands of the FMLN. Civiles y guerrilleros yacen parados mientras hablan en el mercado de Corinto.
