The FMLNs totalitarian methods of tcontrol also extend beyond tihe organization itself. into the communitils where its influence is dominant. Indoctrination of civilians and the use of intimidation and executions to enforce discipline remains FMLN policy in guerrilla- held territory in northern El Salvador. The FMLN has used similar methods in order to take control of the Salvadoran refugee camps in Honduras ("Fear Rules the Salvadoran Refugees." Nei York Tincs. 3 March 1989). How does the FMLN explain that despite the fact of continuing war. thousands of refugees have asked the United High Commissioner on Refugees for assistance in leaving these camps to return home? There is also the question of the actual size of the FMLN and its level of popular support. The current consensus on the number of guerrilla fighters is 67.000.
