Guatemala’s former strongman Efrain Rios Montt, who faces genocide charges, stands amid policemen during a break at a courtroom in Guatemala City on Jan. 26, 2012. Former Guatemalan dictator Efrain Rios Montt will face trial on charges of genocide and crimes against humanity as the Central American nation seeks to close files on a brutal 36-year civil war.  Gen Rios Montt, 85, was in power from 1982-1983, when some of the country’s worst civil war atrocities occurred. Whole villages of indigenous Mayans were massacred as part of government efforts to defeat left-wing rebels. An estimated 200,000 people were killed or went missing during Guatemala’s civil conflict, which ended in 1996. Gen Rios Montt’s 17 months in power are believed to be one of the most brutal periods of the war. [Credit : Rodrigo Abd / AP]
