MEXICO CITY : Back to the Table
- Share via
Guatemalan government and rebel leaders are scheduled to resume peace talks today in Mexico’s capital after a six-month stalemate. The discussions are aimed at ending the 33-year-old civil war that has killed about 120,000 people in Central America’s largest country.
Previous talks, initiated when President Jorge Serrano took office in 1991, broke down over human rights enforcement. Currently, the sides are divided over a rebel proposal to negotiate conditions for a cease-fire. The government insists on a cease-fire before other conditions are met. Meanwhile, violence, bombings and threats continue.
