tfladis Sihrian, who spoke
Monday mgfi! at the University,
said the war in hi Salvador can
not he ended without pressure
from other countries and that
military ac lion is no longer the
answer
The FMI.N declared a truce
011 Nov lt>, the first in \
Vears, ceasing all attac ks cm the
hi Salvadoran military in sup
port of 1 N -sponsored negoti
ations in New York
1'he FMI.N. the burabundo
Marti National Liberation
Front, is a coalition of five re
bel groups fighting the Salvado
ran government
Fighting lias continued, but
in defense only on the 1 Ml N
side Sihrian said The group
hoped for reciprocity from the
government armed lories. she
■■■iiii but tli.it 11,isn't been the

1 hi- S.ilviidonm military has
instead taken advantage lit the
truce to take [iri-viouslv l-MI.N

said However, she remains
staunch in tn-r support ot lie

Wi- .ire committed to mam
taming tin- truce. she satil
We won't tire.it it tint as a last
resort YVe believe the Salv.tiio

One fundamental issue in
continuing negotiations is the
l-'MLN's proposeti restructuring
of LI Salvador's military, name
ly bv reduction, she said
i he l-'MI.N also strongly sup
ports punishing members of
military death squads responsi
ble for killing civilians
The I-Ml.S' proposed elimi
nating the army a year ago,
Sibrian said, but the United Na
turns thought this impossible
Both the United Nations and
the ' ruled States support mili
tary restructuring, however
;:id Sibrian doesn't rule out the
possibility of abolishing the
Gladis Sibrlan
army sometime in the future
The military fears peai e lie
