Since Christmas morning I have been helping out with the accompanyment work with Congresswoman and co-founder of GAM Nineth Montenegro. She has been receiving death threats since 1984 and has been accompanied by members of Peace Brigades International over many years. I accompamied her and her daughter in 1988 for over a month. She received the most recent deaths threats on November 30 most likely for her work in the investigation of military corruption. Those making the threats said "something big will happen to Nineth or her family before the end of the year."
I will only be doing this for a few more days but do have time to work on other interviews. This week I plan to write about the upcoming 8th anniversary of the Peace Accord signing here in Guatemala, more on the trade agreement CAFTA and what many here believe is a region economic agreement that will lay the ground work for CAFTA and the FTAA...Plan Puebla Panama (PPP).
