In 1982, the National Left Guerrilla merged to form the "National Revolutionary Union of Guatemala" and armed struggle spread throughout the country. Peasants dissatisfied with the overthrow of the Árbenz regime organized a guerrilla army, in which more than 100,000 people died and millions were displaced. In September 1982, Guatemala's army persecuted the local Mayan people, bordering on genocide, killing more than 9000 Mayans. Beginning in 1983, persecution on the part of the Government of Guatemala began to decrease and the country resumed democratization. However, the inequality between the rich and the poor in the country has not been solved, and only a minority of 1 per cent owns more than 60 per cent of arable land and wealth. In 1985, Guatemala reorganized elections. [7]
