  • Ahi sale mi querido @tejutepequecom (Tejutepeque)... Minutos 3:12... Que bueno poder ver como era en esos tiempos, Pero que duro ver como sufrio el país a causa de la guerra!.

  • hey denle like a mi nueva pagina de facebook de nike running El Salvador por favor :).. la queremos hacer conocer para todos.

  • if the guerrilla had really got tons of arms from cuba that war could have been over in few months,there were thousnds of un armed people in the country side,it really was pleope's struggle,the u s a paranoia of comunism expansion wroght the billions of dollars and cover mass murders vietnam style and now 30years later people want justice

  • @JoeDaPlumber BTW - where do you stand?

  • 2:23 - Roberto D'Aubuisson, a true hero :-) 

  • @1985Aquiles are you out of your mind that animal killed our brothers and sisters. He killed Mons Romero. Don't you forget that

  • @JoeDaPlumber Romero was a fake christian. If only he'd been shot in 1981,we would know whether he would verbally attack Fidel Castro for supporting armament to the guerrilla insurgents in ES. An agitator and a morally confused Romero would rarely speak against guerrilla insurgents who started in 1971 kidnapping, terrorizing & murdering Salvadorans. A communist under his cassock garment. 12 years of political struggle from the radical left, gave us 4 titanic victories in the elections. Oops!

  • @1985Aquiles The guerrillas fought to change ES from the dictatorship of PCN government which had shown ineffectiveness and corrupt leanings. This isn't about left or right but about what is just. ES could not advance in that type of dictatorship. Romero came out to speak against the millitary govt of Gen Romero and NEVER ADVOCATED VIOLENCE. D'Abuisson was a psycho he even tried to kill Alfredo Cristiani b/c he couldn't be prez. Look it up in the CIA declassified files. FOIA.

  • @JoeDaPlumber I asked Cristiani himself and he denies the 'conspiracy theory' despite what the FOIA says. The military was divided. Elites where being kidnapped/killed for money from both military and guerilla peasants. D'Aubuisson was a strong, disciplined & patriotic leader that was necessary in those times. A man who redacted the Constitution and formed a political party to try to win his way up through democratic elections. Lets call it for what it really was, a war for seats in the assembly

  • @1985Aquiles Anecdotal evidence does not refute the CIA report. The military was divided between Duarte and the ARENA camp which favored a stronger "scorched earth approach". In addition, Cristiani's testimony does not warrant rejection of the CIA report due to that it was discovered via extra-Salvadorian intel means (not ES originated). He did a fine job with the constitution, no doubt but this was a war for freedom from the repressive military dictatorship of the PCN. Don't you agree?

  • @JoeDaPlumber Freedom from military dictatorship - Yes. Freedom and democracy by left wingers - No. If young incompetent guerrilla insurgents had had their way, we would be a lot worse today. Taking over mass production industries, private sector, and land was a mistake even FMLN leaders now say it was a mistake. When freedom and democracy is at stake, citizens usually vote right wing. Let's face it, in order for the FMLN to win the presidential elections, they had to move a notch to the right

  • @1985Aquiles You're wrong on that. While the left affiliated itself with some dark people like Brezhev and Fidel they saw it as a means to an end. I don't think the campesinos fighting for the revolution gave a damn about Marx or Adam Smith, it was a fight to liberate from the military dictatorship which eventually became depicted as an ideological war. If the FMLN would've won the war, democracy would have emerged eventually. Do you think Salvadorians would allow ANOTHER DICTATORSHIP?

  • @gngarcia1983 It was. I was raised in El Salvador and Reagan was magnificent. Jimmy Carter lost Nicaragua

  • El amor es gozo El amor ya es dado Jesus no lo deje pasar Amor es paciente te esta esperando Dios te espera.

  • Hi I want to know what part of el salvador do they have the very little afro salvavorans at?

  • @jamalking1992 I believe there are some afro salvadorans in la union and some small towns outside la union agua fria la union most of them are fisherman I met some of them they have hondurans and nicaraguan back ground they are the 3rd generation of afro salvadoreans hope this information help you ...

  • @jamalking1992 there are no black ppl in El Salvador. They were driven off by Gen Hernandez

  • pienso que el fmln se a burlado de todos nosotros los salvadorenos. solo se estan llenando los bolsillos de dinero , poder quisiera saber cuales fueron los motivos que nos hicieron sufrir tantos anos de guerra .por que asta el momento no hacen nada por nuestro pais

  • Gracias por el video; yo creci en El Salvador durante toda la guerra. Hoy vivo en los Estados Unidos. Todavia vicito El Salvador seguido; la situacion es diferente pero todavia tiene sentimientos negativos entre los partidos de la isquierda y la derecha. Los Salvadoreños necesitan unirse y alludar alas nuevas generaciones dandoles como ejemplo esta Guerra sin sentido que el conficto no es la solucion. Educasion y Salud ba a desarollar El Salvador para un futuro major. Viva El Salvador.

  • Thanks for the video; I grew up in El Salvador through the entire war. I now leave in the USA. I still visit El Salvador often; the situation is different but still has the same negative feelings among the right and left wing parties. Salvadorians people need to unite and help the new generations by giving this worthless war as an example that fighting is not the solution. Education and health care will develop El Salvador for a better future.. Viva El Salvador..

    

  • This Democratic and the comunist are the same shit, im salvadorean and i know how they do the politics in my country, and now the comunist won the president chair and my country is worst than before.....

  • @pokttrin eso es pura paja. You're lying. Presidente Funes NO ES COMUNISTA NI SOCIALISTA. Ya lo a dicho varias veces hasta el FMLN anda encabronado con el. Y lo de las maras siempre a habido pues no andes de pajero

  • @pokttrin woah woah woah, slow down there. thanks to the dumfucks of ARENA, the gangs grew in overwhelming powers. FMLN is just cleaning up the garbage ARENA left...

  • @doncordova4 El FMLN ahorita la esta cagando. Estan dejando que los derechos humanos dicte como tratar ese vergo de criminales

  • @JoeDaPlumber I feel you. As a Republican, I would even move the UN headquarters from NY! The so-called 'FFAA' are already trying to tackle street criminality in ES. Enough is enough. Bring the Mossad!

  • @doncordova4 Actually the defeated ex guerilla communist fighters had no money after losing the war and became criminals. Right wingers have always been much stronger in fighting crime than left wingers. Throughout the last year and a half, under left wing governance, criminality has skyrocketed. P.S. Quijano is cleaning up the garbage of the last 12 years of FMLN mayoralty in the capital city.

  • @pokttrin Thank You - I agree. I'd suggest people to look at their monthly payment bills and taxes. They sure have risen in a time of crisis.

  • Why would communists use capitalist christian weapons (aka M-16s, Car-15s), why won't they keep the AKs?

  • @pitviper71 they probably picked it up from those the dead U.S. Trained Soldiers around that time...

  • And ignorant people still yell to [illegal] immigrants to go back to their country. WTF? are you kidding me?

  • @gngarcia1983 same wit guatemala during the cold war!!!

  • El Salvador was ruined by American policies. Bush needs a bullet in his face, hiw whole family tree.

  • @12GaugeLosAngeles El Salvador benefited from American policies during the war. A civil war for us and a geopolitical war between USSR and US. The greater good trumped evil! Thanks to Pres Reagan, Bush Sr. and the Salvadoran government you'll be able to vote on March 15, 2014.

  • The FMLN is elected in office now :)

  • @gngarcia1983

    This was CNN coverage... can't expect too much
