EL SALVADOR. Perquin, Morazan. A dog is seen through the photographer's eyeglasses. Perquin was one of the two "guerilla capitals" during the war. FMLN combatants were often seen lounging around the village during the day. In the evenings, they came into town to meet friends. The town was badly marred by fighting, and graffiti in support of the FMLN guerillas was seen on many neighbourhood buldings, many of which were adobe or adobe covered with cement. The peace accords were signed in January 1992 ending 12 years of civil war. Stone covered the streets and the hills were too poor to grow good crops. The best land lay in the south and was in the hands of the country's landed elite, the 14 families who controlled most of El Salvador's arable land. 1991.
