This Wednesday, August 30, is World Day of the Disappeared in Conflict. Between 1975 and 1990, the country went through a civil war. The unofficial toll of these fifteen years of bloody conflict is at least 150,000 dead and thousands missing. More than thirty years later, the families have obtained neither information on the fate of their loved ones, nor justice, nor reparation. In question: the former militia leaders, who have since converted into politics, are still those who run the country. The economic crisis that the country is going through further bogs down families’ efforts to find out the fate of their missing loved ones.
