From the Americas Program

Between Drug Trafficking and Electioneering, Guatemala Left High and Dry – CIP Americas: "The heightening of violence in Guatemala, which goes hand in hand with the presence of drug trafficking and was made evident by the recent massacre of 28 people on the Los Cocos farm, is causing alarm in Mexico´s southern neighbor. This situation will make the presidential candidates who will campaign this year call for a stronger hand in a country that experienced the military abuses of the eighties, warns Marco Antonio Castillo, director of the Guatemala-based Asociación Grupo Ceiba, in this interview with the Americas Program."
