Wounded FMLN combatants are evacuated to Cuba, an action seen as a diplomatic victory for FMLN and defeat for the Christiai Government. In response, the government increases repression of civilians across the country, targeting workers, peasants, and religious organizations. The FMLN ends a 10-day cease fire and launches their largest offensive to date on September 25. On October 2 Christiani addresses the United Nations General Assembly. His words contradict many of the actions his government has been taking against poor people in El Salvador.
