On this day, 11 December 1981, a death squad backed by the US administration of Ronald Reagan massacred around 1,000 people in El Mozote, El Salvador (content note: sexual violence). Prior to being killed, many of the victims - half of them children - were tortured and girls as young as 10 were raped by the US-trained soldiers. They were fighting against a left-wing insurgency, but the villagers of El Mozote had remained largely neutral.
This is a short account of the incredibly violent counterinsurgency campaign by Noam Chomsky: https://libcom.org/history/1970-1990-the-war-of-counter-insurgency-in-el-salvador https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1605126339672510/?type=3
