Actually United States has been working with Honduras to help them with the drug war.
And you cant just blame usa onesidedly
Today United States is working with the Honduras... the Banana war that happened a long time ago, people trying to use that as justification for this.
This is what that article claims
Although its once sky-high murder rate has declined, the continuing exodus of many youth demonstrates that violent gangs still plague urban neighborhoods.
Meanwhile, post-coup governments have intensified an increasingly unregulated, “free market” form of capitalism that makes life unworkable for many. Government spending on health and education, for example, has declined in Honduras. Meanwhile, the country’s poverty rate has risen markedly. These contribute to the growing pressures that push many people to migrate.
Post-coup... a coup back during the Banana War.
That was back during the 1934.
What they did after that really isn't on us... matter of fact, we are actually trying to help them deal with the gangs today.
No it talks about the coup in 2009
What fucking coup?
The recent one
I never heard of any honduras coup.
They contributed, for example, to the election of Manuel Zelaya, a liberal reformist, as president in 2006. He led on progressive measures such as raising the minimum wage. He also tried to organize a plebiscite to allow for a constituent assembly to replace the country’s constitution, which had been written during a military government. However, these efforts incurred the ire of the country’s oligarchy, leading to his overthrow by the military in June 2009.
The 2009 coup, more than any other development, explains the increase in Honduran migration across the southern U.S. border in the last few years. The Obama administration has played an important role in these developments. Although it officially decried Zelaya’s ouster, it equivocated on whether or not it constituted a coup, which would have required the U.S. to stop sending most aid to the country.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in particular, sent conflicting messages, and worked to ensure that Zelaya did not return to power. This was contrary to the wishes of the Organization of American States, the leading hemispheric political forum composed of the 35 member-countries of the Americas, including the Caribbean. Several months after the coup, Clinton supported a highly questionable election aimed at legitimating the post-coup government.
Reading up on it.
Thank Hillary
So Obama did this shit?
Why didn't I hear about it.
Why indeed
Wait... it doesn't surprise me. We are talking democrats here.
*Rubs forehead.*
*Sighs.*
But basicaly usa chose to keep oligarchs in power
So United States fought against a coupe.
They didnt
Since it is keeping Oligarchs in power.
They stayed out of it
You said KEEP... meaning they already had power.
And then kept sending the new regime aid
And legitimized it
Ah...
According to the article
God damn it Obama and Hillary.
Thank god we didn't elect hillary.
As i said i know fuckall
We would be in more wars.
