The proposal to reactivate 35,000 Civilian Armed Forces and Geographical Units
(CAFGU) cannot be dismissed solely on the basis of possible human rights abuses
that might be committed by these militiamen. Yes, their predecessors, the
Barrio Self-Defense Units and the Civilian Home Defense Force, both achieved
notoriety during the 1960's up to the mid-1980's. And, yes, Norberto Manero,
Jr. the killer of Fr. Tullio Favali, was a local commander of the CHDF.
