What tragedy occurred in Nebaj between the years 1960-1997?

Between 1960 and 1997, Nebaj, a town in Guatemala's Ixil region, experienced significant tragedy during the Guatemalan Civil War. The area was heavily affected by government-led military campaigns aimed at suppressing indigenous communities suspected of supporting leftist guerrillas. This resulted in widespread violence, including massacres, forced disappearances, and human rights violations, leading to the displacement and suffering of thousands of residents. The legacy of these events continues to impact the community today.
