IN TRANSLATION: "IF NORTH AMERICAN IMPERIALISM HAD NOT PROVIDED HELP OF ALL KINDS TO THE GOVERNMENT OF EL SALVADOR, IT WOULD HAVE ALREADY FALLEN." COMMANDER ANA MARIA MELIDA ANAYA MONTES YOU ARE ONE OF THE DEAD WHO NEVER DIE FMLN-" Ana María (17 May 1929 – 6 April 1983) was the nom-de-guerre of Dr. Mélida Anaya Montes, the second in command of the Fuerzas Populares de Liberación Farabundo Martí (FPL), the oldest of the five guerilla organizations making up the FMLN, in El Salvador.[1]An intellectual, she was considered as an icon among revolutionary women in the region. Eventually she was killed by her own comrades on April 6, 1983, in Managua, Nicaragua.Later, the FMLN blamed its leader Cayetano Carpio (sometimes referred to as the "Ho Chi Minh of Latin America") as the person responsible for the crime, and he committed suicide. Though he was not in Nicaragua at the time, many believe his stance created a situation that led Ana María's associates to assassinate her.Early life[edit]She was born in the small town of Santiago Texacuangos, in the central zone of El Salvador.[1] Ana María received her Doctorate of Education from the University of El Salvador, where she became a professor of education and gave classes in the 1960s. She was the assistant director of the Alberto Masferrer University.In 1965, Anaya Montes founded the National Association of El Salvadorian Teachers (ANDES), also known as 21 de Junio, after its first demonstration in 1965.[2] She led the strikes of educators in 1968 and 1971, which created major trouble for the government of general Fidel Sánchez Hernández.In 1970, the ex-Secretary General of the Communist Party of El Salvador, Salvador Cayetano Carpio founded the first guerrilla detachment of El Salvador: the People's Liberation Forces Farabundo Martí (FPL).Assassination[edit]The murder of Anaya Montes was caused by a deep division that had developed within the FMLN. The majority, led by Ana María, favoured negotiation with the government.[3] The hard line faction opposed any negotiation with the government of El Salvador, and supported a prolonged war. This faction was led by Commander Salvador Cayetano Carpio.On 6 April 1983, Ana María was murdered at her home in Managua, Nicaragua. Her assassins stabbed her 83 times with an ice pick, and then slashed her neck.[4] Nicaraguan authorities later apprehended the murderers and found them to be members of the FMLN. Rogelio Bazzaglia later confessed to Ana María's murder, stating he was under orders from Carpio, although later retracting it. After her burial and upon hearing the news that he was implicated in masterminding Ana María's murder, Carpio committed suicide in his home.[4]Legacy[edit]Ana María is considered an iconic example for educators and those struggling against oppression, especially in El Salvador. The Melida Anaya Montes Language School in San Salvador, which uses popular education techniques highlights social justice issues, is named for her.
