festival

Some Salvadorans refer to the festival as Fiestas Agostinos (August Feasts). The observance of the festival dates back to 1525, the year that the city of San Salvador, the present-day capital, wasfounded. The grandest of the celebrations take place in that city, but there are also observances throughout the rest of thecountry and in Salvadoran communities settled abroad. The main events of the festival are a religious procession, a large fair, various sporting events, a beauty contest, and ariotous party featuring street floats and dancers.

history
- El Salvador was for centuries inhabited by several Mesoamerican nations, especially the Cuzcatlecs, as well as the Lenca and Maya. In the early 16th century, the Spanish Empire conquered the territory, incorporating it into the Viceroyalty of New Spain ruled from Mexico City. However the Viceroyalty of Mexico had little or no influence in the daily affairs of the Central American isthmus, which would be colonized in 1524. In 1609 the area became the Captaincy General of Guatemala, from which El Salvador was part of until its independence from Spain, which took place in 1821, as part of the First Mexican Empire, then further seceded, as part of the Federal Republic of Central America, in 1823. When the Republic dissolved in 1841, El Salvador became a sovereign nation, then formed a short-lived union with Honduras and Nicaragua called the Greater Republic of Central America, which lasted from 1895 to 1898. From the late 19th to the mid-20th century, El Salvador endured chronic political and economic instability characterized by coups, revolts, and a succession of authoritarian rulers. Persistent socioeconomic inequality and civil unrest culminated in the devastating Salvadoran Civil War (1979–1992), which was fought between the military-led government and a coalition of left-wing guerrilla groups. The conflict ended with the Chapultepec Peace Accords. This negotiated settlement established a multiparty constitutional republic, which remains in place to this day.

- 日媒周一引述消息指，日本政府開發援助（ODA）撥款約一百一十二億日圓（約八億港元）予薩爾瓦多港口建設項目後，接到美國政府警告，提防中國大陸在中南美洲開展軍事活動。據悉，日方今年曾阻止欲得到港口營運權的大陸企業參與。日本政府向薩爾瓦多西部的港口建設項目提供資金，在去年十月舉行的說明會上，包括陸企在內的多間企業表現出興趣。當時薩爾瓦多與台灣斷交，剛與大陸建交。美國政府認為，不應在過程不透明下簽訂允許大陸參與的合同，要求薩爾瓦多停止招標。日方也統一步調，通知薩方「必須是日本能夠接受的合同」，招標最終叫停。https://orientaldaily.on.cc/cnt/china_world/20200101/00178_006.html
