Description
A young Contra soldier eats from a green plastic bowl while he stands in front of a building entrance. In the background there is another Contra soldier holding his firearm next to him and a cigarette on his lips. They are at El Porvenir Farm, located two kilometers from the Honduras-Nicaragua border in June 1983. They are both members of the Nicaraguan Democratic Force (FDN in Spanish), whose members are informally known as "Contras." Un joven soldado contra come de un plato verde de plastico mientras está de pie frente a la entrada de un edificio. Al fondo de la imagen, se observa otro soldado contra sosteniendo su fusil junto a él y un cigarrillo sobre sus labios.
