And, right on cue for April 10th, Guatemalan President Jimmy Morales yesterday did something that would strike fear and dread in the heart of any Belizean.
The Guatemalan news site called "Soy 502" yesterday reported that Morales made a trip to a village school in the Izabal department of Guatemala where he turned schoolteacher - and chose, of all things, to teach geography to standard one students.
He called one of the students to the front - and he drew the map but excluded Belize - which, officially, is drawn with a dotted line. Morales then took the marker and drew in the territory of Belize:
He explained, quote, "We are always going to get used to drawing Belize. Why? Because we are in an important process, we are reclaiming this territory , after the popular consultations, we are going to go to an international court of justice to define the territory," end quote.
He also urged the teacher to show the children that they should draw Belize in the map.
