Description
Three Contras, a young woman and two men, work while camping at El Porvenir Farm, located two kilometers from the Honduras-Nicaragua border in June 1983. While the woman stirs the cooked rice, the man to the right kneels as he tends to an unobservable activity while he holds his Soviet-made Kalashnikov assault rifle. The man in the middle is cutting wood with a machete. In the background there are additional Contras working. They are members of the Nicaraguan Democratic Force (FDN in Spanish), known informally as "Contras." Tres contras, una muchacha y dos hombres, trabajan mientras acampan en la granja El Porvenir, localizada a dos kilómetros de la frontera entre Honduras y Nicaragua en junio de 1983. Mientras la muchacha mueve el arroz, el hombre a la derecha yace hincado haciendo una actividad no observable mientras sostiene su fusil Kalashnikov de fabricación soviética. El hombre en medio corta madera con un machete. Al fondo de la imagen se observan contras adicionales trabajando. Ellos forman parte de la Fuerza Demócratica Nicaragüense (FDN), conocida informalmente como la contra.
