members of the Eugene Friends
Meeting (Quakers), spent a
month in El Salvador, visiting
all but three departments.
Besides helping with the relief
work and witnessing the situa
tion first hand, the North
Americans’ presence provided
protection for the local relief
workers, Hemmingsen says.
“They believed they were a
lot safer because we were
there,” she says. "The govern
ment does not want to see any
more North Americans killed.”
The Eugeneans say they
witnessed a situation much
worse than they had an
ticipated. Even in San Salvador,
the nation’s capital, you can
hear bombing and gunfire in the
nearby hills every night, Hem
mingsen says.
“There are international laws
about bombing civilian popula
tions. and it is real clear that
civilian populations are being
bombed.” Hemmingsen says.
“ We saw the places that were
bombed; we talked to the peo
ple who were bombed; all we
didn’t see was the actual bomb
ing,” Cadbury says. They also
heard numerous reports of
Salvadoran security forces
raiding villages and killing
civilians.
The war has caused “un
mitigated” hardship for the
peasants of El Salvador, Cad
bury says. Many of those
displaced by the war have been
able to start over in other parts
of the country, but those whose
identification papers have been
destroyed in the bombings have
become refugees in their own
land.
Many of these refugees come
to San Salvador seeking sanc
tuary in churches. Some have
lived in the over-crowded chur
ches for four years because they
fear being caught on the street
without their papers. Hem
mingsen says.
Cadbury believes that recent
ly elected Pres. Jose Napoleon
Duarte has good intentions, but
he does not have the political
might to keep the army in line.
Duarte has also failed to address
the economic inequity of the
country that is the root of the
troubles there, he says.
The United States, which
trains and supplies the
Salvadoran forces, shares a
large responsibility for the suf
fering in El Salvador, he says.
U.S. foreign-policy makers
need to rethink policies that
view the situation in Central
America as merely a global
struggle against communism,
he says.
