It's ten years today that the final peace accords were signed in Guatemala, formally bringing to an end 36 years of civil war. BBC Mundo has posted an article marking this anniversary. They interviewed three of the participants of the panel discussion we organised in early December in London with Canning House: Yolanda Aguilar, Dominga Vasquez and Guillermo Chen.

We'll be tracking any other articles covering the passing of this moment and pulling together some of the assessments and analysis of what's changed in Guatemala since the signing of the Peace Accords a decade ago.

Reuters correspondent Mica Rosenberg certainly sums up the bleak side of the coin in the article: 'Violence plagues Guatemala decade after war's end'.

There has been a lot of coverage and reflection on what has happened in Guatemala over the last ten years in the Guatemalan media. These are various links to news stories we've found on the Peace Accords.

This is a clip showing how the letters in the Maya Achi alphabet are pronounced. When Guillermo Chen was touring the UK and other European countries there was a great deal of interest in learning more about the Maya Achi language.

You can find out more and download a fairly extensive Spanish-Achi dictionary from the website of bilingual education in Guatemala.
