The Struggles of a Dictatorship

In 1982, Campesinos who lost their jobs when the dam was finished started to protest again for land reform. Villages were declared centers of delinquency and subversion and forcibly evacuated. The peasantry began to desert stressors as a result. By the late 1980s, the general was sick enough that he could no longer fully control his regime. On February 3, General Andres Rodriguez executed a violent coup against stressor.
