COMPADRES poster 2016 - Google Docs. Welcome to Compadres! Ignite posts continue. Rosita and Ieda, Cinquerra, El Salvador. There is one day that stays with with me, the day we toured the village square of Cinquera and heard stories of the war from Rosita, a slight, beautiful woman with a staggering family history.
We stood in the hot square staring at a painted mural documenting the 12-year struggle. Rosita, in Spanish, calmy and forthrightly told the story of some of the people of her town. Prominent in the mural was the face of a young woman, Ieda. A young parish worker, Ieda was passionate about her work, telling the story of the gospels, carrying her bible as a talisman of justice and good work. Ieda's beliefs did not go over well with the army and government that viewed the bible and the gospel as revolutionary tools of the people. Ieda's mother still lives in Cinquera. Over the course of a number of days, the young woman was interrogated and tortured. The mutilated bodies were a message of fear and retaliation for anyone speaking out for justice.

SAN SALVADOR - The Salvadoran government will open a tourist route in honour of Archbishop Oscar Romero, who was killed by death squads in March 1980.
