Guatemalan National Revolutionary Unity

The Guatemalan National Revolutionary Unity, known as la Unidad Revolucionaria Nacional Guatemalteca (URNG), was a coalition of leftist guerrilla groups during Guatemala's civil war, which lasted from 1960 to 1996. Formed in the 1980s, URNG aimed to address social injustice and inequality in the country, advocating for the rights of marginalized communities. After decades of conflict, the URNG transitioned from armed struggle to political engagement and became a recognized political party, participating in elections to promote democratic governance and social reforms in Guatemala. The organization symbolizes the struggle for human rights and social change in the nation.
