I am glad that the atrocities conducted by the Guatemalan government on its Mayan citizens has come to light. Its sad to hear that a government would torture and kill its own minorities, but at least now the Mayan people may receive some rectification for their suffering.
I found both sides to be viable in that the Mayans can, and should blame the then president for the atrocities. However, I also why he would think he was innocent of genocide, considering that there was an ongoing civil war going on the time and he was responding to the conflict, not so much the culture.
sad documentary about the bones of these former poor mayans
