Description
A young female Contra soldier cooks rice on a campfire while two male contra soldiers wait standing in front of her, both armed. Next to the two male soldiers are two other male soldiers, one kneeled and one bent over. In the background there are more soldiers standing idly. They are at El Porvenir Farm, located two kilometers from the Honduras-Nicaragua border, in June 1983. They are all members of the Nicaraguan Democratic Force (FDN in Spanish), whose members are known informally as "Contras." Un joven soldado contra cocina arroz sobre una hoguera mientras dos soldados contra esperan de pie frente a ella, los dos armados. Junto a los dos soldados contra parados yacen dos otros soldados, uno hincado y otro agachado. Al fondo de la imagen se observan varios soldados de pie ociosamente. Ellos están en la granja El Porvenir, localizada a dos kilómetros de la frontera entre Honduras y Nicaragua, en junio de 1983. Todos ellos son miembros de la Fuerza Demócratica Nicaragüense (FDN), organización cuyos miembros son conocidos informalmente como la contra.
