Regarding Memorial to the Fallen and Missing of the Community of December 29. This memorial is located in a community of ex-guerrilla fighters and their families that participated in the armed conflict against the Guatemalan Armed Forces during Guatemala's Armed Conflict. Although the conflict lasted from roughly 1960 to 1996, most of the deaths and disappearances noted on this memorial happened during the 1980s, the period of the height of the conflict. The community was founded on December 29, 2000 and named after the date in 1996 when the Peace Accords were signed that finally put an end to the conflict.
The names on the memorial are followed by initials which indicate which revolutionary group

Also see . . . Guatemalan genocide at Wikipedia. The Guatemalan genocide refers to the massacre of Maya civilians during the Guatemalan military government's counterinsurgency operations. Massacres, forced disappearances, torture and summary executions of guerrillas and especially civilian collaborators at the hands of US-backed security forces had been widespread since 1965 and was a longstanding policy of the military regime, which US officials were aware of. A report from 1984 discussed "the murder of thousands by a military government that maintains its authority by terror." (Submitted on June 11, 2018, by J. Makali Bruton of Accra, Ghana.)
