Central America is rarely in the news these days, yet no lack of life-altering events continue to impact the people there. Following up on our Guatemalan talk last month, this week CAAC is pleased to present a program on the current situation in El Salvador. We hope you can spread the word to anyone who might be interested and make it yourself - and, perhaps, bring a friend.

Post-Conflict Reconciliation in El Salvador event set for March 14

Dr. David Andersen will speak on Post-Conflict Reconciliation in Central America, about El Salvador's 15th anniversary of the peace accords, on Wednesday, Mar 14, 7 pm, at the Green Room at Sierra 2 Community Center, 2791 24th St, Sacramento.

He is professor of government and international studies at CSU Sacramento and coordinator of the peace and conflict resolution program. The event, sponsored by the Central America Action Committee of Sacramento, is free, though donations are graciously accepted. For more information, call 916-457-5018 or email: caac2 [at] jps.net

So no more conflicts in El Salvador now that oppressor has connived the leaders of some of the oppressed to endless dialogue. Will the elimination economic exploitation by capitalists of workers be a subject at these dialogues?

Class conflict is the basic conflict.

Everything else is a cruel and barbaric joke.

§The Struggle Continues

If you had actually gone to the talk you would have realized that Anderson pretty much made the point that you made - that the civil war ended, but for for the workers and campesinos, the conflict continues because the structures that caused the FMLN to engage in armed struggle remain. In fact, the right wing has prevailed in the electoral, economic and political arenas. And violence, though it takes the form of gang violence, is even worse in many ways for people in the barrios than it was during the civil war.
