General Augusto Pinochet’s 1973 coup was one of the bloodiest in 20th-century Latin America and his 17 year dictatorship left more than 3,000 people dead and missing. The political problems of the past — violence and crimes on the part of the extreme left, then the severe repression of the subversives with the disappearance of about 1,500 people and exile of many more by the military government — continue to be live issues. The great need is for both sides to forgive and forget the past and become reconciled to each other. Pray that both sides might be able to forgive the past and become reconciled to each other. Christians are also divided on the issue.
- Stable, democratic government.
