Description
A refugee woman and a young girl stand around a small fire pit outside of a hut. The woman moves a jar placed on the ash-covered pit as the young girl watches. A hen walks past the pair. Buckets, jars and pots are on top of a table located next to the wall of a hut. By 1984, 46,000 Guatemalan refugees were in southern Mexico. Between 1981 and 1983, the Guatemalan army's counterinsurgency strategy targeted the Mayan population who were believed to be supporting the guerilla movement. The military committed hundreds of massacres and was responsible for acts of genocide against the Mayan population, according to the report of the 1994 Guatemalan Historical Clarification Commission. Una mujer y una niña refugiadas se paran alrededor de una pequeña fogata fuera de una choza. La mujer mueve un tazón encima de la fogata cubierta de cenizas mientras la niña observa. Una gallina pasa por delante de las dos. Hay cubos, recipientes y ollas encima y abajo de una mesa ubicada en una pared de la choza. By 1984, 46,000 Guatemalan refugees were in southern Mexico.
