Title: Salvadoran Election Poster In Mejicanos Neighborhood
Date: 1984-05-01
Creator: Nickelsberg, Robert
Description: Pedestrians walk past a presidential election poster for the right-wing political party Alianza Republicana Nacionalista, National Republican Alliance, ARENA, on their way home from work in the Mejicanos neighborhood of San Salvador, El Salvador, May 1, 1984. ARENA was founded in 1981 from a convergence of the landowning oligarchy and the extreme anti-communist right. The party received formative support from Guatemala's fascist ultra-right political party Movimiento de Liberación Nacional, National Liberation Movement, MLN, and from several influential members of the Republican party of the United States. Roberto D'Aubuisson, founding member of ARENA and the presidential candidate for the party in the 1984 elections, was known to have close ties to the death squads and had a reputation for extreme violence.

Creator: Nickelsberg, Robert
Description: A United States Army advisor, left, leads Salvadoran army soldiers during an open air class in San Juan Opico, El Salvador, March 1, 1983. With the escalation of U.S. military aid in 1981, 55 military advisors, or the Mobile Training Team, MTT, arrived in El Salvador and were stationed at bases around the country.

Title: U.S. Embassy Displays Captured FMLN Weapons
Date: 1984-03-17
Creator: Nickelsberg, Robert
Description: United States Embassy Public Affairs Officer Don Hamilton, right, shows CBS TV reporter Mike O'Connor, center left, three Soviet or Chinese-made rocket propelled grenades, RPGs, captured from the Frente Farabundo Martí para la Liberación Nacional, Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front, FMLN, in San Salvador, El Salvador, March 17, 1984. Throughout the conflict, the United States exaggerated concerns that the Soviet Union, Cuba, and Nicaragua were funding and supplying the Salvadoran guerrillas with weapons and strategic military assistance. Fears that the Soviet Union and its allies in the Western Hemisphere were actively aiding the guerrillas fit within the U.S.-purported definition of the Salvadoran conflict as a hemispheric Cold War battle, though it certainly did not reflect the reality on the ground.

Title: Dutch Human Rights Investigative Team Leaving Camino Real Hotel In San Salvador
Date: 1982-03-22
Creator: Nickelsberg, Robert
Description: A group of human rights investigators from Holland leave the El Camino Real Hotel in San Salvador, El Salvador, March 22, 1982. The group came to investigate the death of four Dutch journalists shot and killed by Salvadoran security forces while they were pursuing an interview with leftist guerrillas from the Fuerzas Populares de Liberación, FPL, in the Chalatenango department. The Salvadoran government and the United States embassy in El Salvador denied knowledge of the ambush, claiming that the journalists were caught in an ongoing firefight between guerrilla soldiers and the military. This fact was later refuted with witness testimony in the 1993 publication of the United Nations Truth Commission for El Salvador.
