Who was Ana María?
Ana María was the "nom de guerre" of Mélida Anaya Montes, the second in command of the FMLN, in El Salvador.
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, after having made many sacrifices during her life as a guerrilla.
Later, the FMLN falsely blamed its leader Cayetano Carpio as the person responsible for the crime, and he committed suicide.
