Description
Two armed guerrilleros, one dressed with an uniform and the other one wearing civilian clothes, walk in the street of Corinto. Other people, boys of different ages, and four mules are also in the same street. The town had been controlled by the rebels for several weeks. The Department of Morazán, where Corinto is located, was one of the poorest and most remote areas in El Salvador and it was the stronghold of the People's Revolutuonary Army (ERP), one of the five guerrilla factions of the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMNL). By the end of February of 1983 the entire northern Morazán was in the hands of the FMLN. Dos guerrilleros armados, uno vestido con uniforme y el otro con ropa de civil, caminan por una calle de Corinto. Otras personas, niños de diferentes edades y cuatro mulas también caminan sobre la misma calle. El pueblo había sido controlado por los rebeldes durante varias semanas.
