Incivility.

More than a decade ago, Guatemala ended a civil war that had punished the country from 1960 to 1996. Over 36 years of struggle, the July 1982 massacre of 268 residents of Plan Sanchez, in the region of Baja Verapaz, stands out as among the saddest episodes in a very long conflict.

Documents revealing the history of violence and abuse of human rights were found in a cache in Guatemala City. Among the papers, security agents working on the investigation of the archive found records of a litany of abuses of more than 200,000 civilians who died or disappeared during the war.

Despite the end of the fighting, people in Guatemala are still fighting violence inside their own borders. Murder, kidnapping and drag trafficking are just some of the problems they face in what remains a powder keg of a society. The combination of official corruption and the perception of impunity at the highest levels have led to increased insecurity and trouble reigniting a tourism economy. For thousands of Guatemalans, the arrival of peace has been a relief, but not necessarily the tranquility they expected.
