Description
A young girl walks in the middle of the street holding a large wreath as she is flanked by two men holding flags. The one on the left is holding the blue-and-white flag of Nicaragua and the one on the right is holding a red flag that contains a stylized drawing of a man holding an unidentified firearm. Following closely behind them is a large crowd that is holding wreaths, flags, and the coffins of the slain, which are covered with the flags mentioned above. In the middle of the crowd is a man wearing a large hat speaking into a red megaphone. On the left of the image in the foreground there are two men walking in military uniform. Una niña camina en medio de la calle mientras sostiene una corona de flores grande. A sus lados también caminan dos hombres, los cuales sostienen dos banderas. El de la izquierda carga la bandera albiazul de Nicaragua mientras que el de la derecha carga una bandera roja sobre la cual se observa un dibujo estilizado de un hombre cargando un fusil no identificado. Detrás de ellos y siguiéndolos cercanamente yace una multitud de personas de los cuales muchos sostienen coronas de flores, banderas, y los ataúdes de los muertos, los cuales yacen cubiertos con las banderas ya mencionadas. En medio de la imagen se observan un hombre con un sombrero grande hablando en un megáfono rojo. A la izquierda de la imagen se observan dos hombres caminando en uniforme militar.
