Evolution of Violence

Original title Evolution of Violence

[mlsid]

The global hunger for cheap resources has been another cause of violence, and a war over bananas has taken on a life of its own. The society suffers from the aftermath of the 36-year civil war. Mass graves are found in the mountains, former rebels mourn their comrades, and a war criminal has nightmares about all the things he\’s done. Peace continues to elude Guatemala.
