FMLN candidate Mauricio Funes has won a historic victory in El Salvador’s presidential election. Funes will be the first leftist president in a country that remains sharply divided nearly twenty years after the end of a 12-year long civil war in which 75,000 people were killed.
I took a lot of pictures tonight and there are plenty of good articles about the election out there, but I will have to post an update tomorrow. It’s been a long day with a lot of walking in the hot sun, and I need some rest.
