Answer 4

It is sad, what is happening in Guatemala, when, I lived there the totoal population was about 3 million now is about 15 million and the earth in Guatemala can not support all of us Guatemalans .

Nuestra mayor riqueza es la agricultura, y no la aprovechamos tanto como lo hace, por ejemplo, Israel, que tiene un terreno árido. Deberíamos ser doctores en Agronomía, con esta bendita tierra, y saber producir el triple de lo que se puede. From an article in "Prensa Libre" a Guatemalan newspaper Édgar Ricardo Arriola

Answer 5

Gus, when I first started reading your post, I thought you were talking about Mexico! I don't know if the international press has been covering the narco killings and retaliation here, but there has been quite a surge in the past week. It's not throughout the country, but certain areas have seen a lot of violence.

Is the Guatemala report related to drugs?

No, it is not about drugs, it is about the lack of jobs, people are starving in Guatemala and the goverment is not able to do anything about it. - 00769608, DIC 27, 2009
