Nov 18, 2012 - There is still poverty in El Salvador, but there is a lot o progress. I go to El Salvador every year and it is better than in the 80's. Tell me in which country of Latin America poverty has been abolished?. I think that it is time to move on and leave the past behind. People from other countries is always giving unwanted opinions about El Salvador, Instead they should fixed the internal socioeconomic issues of their countries. As Salvadorean I am grateful we overcame the civil war

Dec 24, 2012 - Bonitas palabras, pero la verdad esta muy lejos de la realidad que ahora se vive en El Salvador,el fmln, partido en el poder unido con las maras, quienes lo llevaron al poder, ahora unidos en la delincuencia, en los secuestros, y en los asesinatos,extorciones, y muchas otras cosas mas. A las cuales hacen que las gentes busquen la manera de salir a buscar una vida mejor, arriesgandose a perder la vida en el camino a esa libertad asta el pais que odian los maricones guerrilleros EE. UU.

Jan 5, 2013 - Would preferred to see a Walmart, Lowes & Starbucks in every corner in the name of progress? The poor kids in El Salvador play in the forest & rivers..The poor kids here in the states where I live play in their tweeter accounts...and hardly play outside due to fear.

Jan 17, 2013 - What America did to My country was kill rape and destroy us as a people they funded a corrupt and facist military and government like they always have and continue to do around the world the fact that they conspricted young boys as young as 10 is the ultimate crime against humanity in my opinion worst than the nazis only the Salvadorian ppl that witness this corruption and chaos can actually say what really happened. the United states military industrial complex are responsible for all of this!

Feb 19, 2013 - As an American, I can say this sums up everything I have read the last 20 yrs. that our govt only worries about the wealthy and can care less about the common people. Too many things recently, but after seeing this, I am ashamed of my country.

Mar 18, 2013 - These people (peasants and surf) have living in these conditions decades before the US ever intervene in El Salvador's affairs. So what are you referring to? It certainly doesn't make sense and Yes, I am half Salvadoran. Go read history young lady.

Jun 17, 2013 - Look at the kids including the kid Fidel at the beginning and how they look caucasian. That's because they are caucasians from Chalatenango. Descendants of Germans who mined gold in the area decades ago.
