Description
A woman with an assault rifle on her shoulder holds a paper with her hands while a military radio hangs from her neck. She wears a military jacket with a Salvadoran National Guard patch on her left shoulder. On the wall behind her, next to an open door, there is an illegible graffiti. For five days, the guerrillas occupied the town of San Agustín, after the takeover of Berlín, El Salvador.
