Guatemalan National Revolutionary Union

The Guatemalan National Revolutionary Unity (in Spanish: Unidad Revolucionaria Nacional Guatemalteca or URNG) was a guerrilla movement that emerged in Guatemala in 1982. After a peace process brokered by the United Nations it laid down its arms in 1996 and became a legal political party in 1998.The URNG was formed as guerrilla umbrella organization on February 7 by four revolutionary groups active in Guatemala: the Guerrilla Army of the Poor (EGP), the Revolutionary Organization of Armed People (ORPA), the Rebel Armed Forces (FAR), and the National Directing Nucleus of PGT (PGT-NDN).On 23 March 1982, retired General Efraín Ríos Montt came to power as the chairman of a military junta that began a violent "scorched-earth" counterinsurgency campaign in the indigenous highlands against the URNG and its supporters until he was toppled the following year.
