Those who vote for Hillary Clinton have a moral obligation to tell the truth about her.

If we’re going to discuss the root causes of the current Honduran refugee crisis, let’s get a few things straight. First, the U.S. government has and continues to fund, orchestrate and support coups across Latin America. Most Americans who know anything about Latin American history will readily highlight Guatemala in 1954, Chile in 1972 and […]

After a 13-year total ban, on Wednesday, International Women’s day, Honduras’ first woman president, Xiomara Castro, legalized the use and distribution of the emergency contraceptive pill, also known as the morning-after pill —or PAE, in Honduras— for everyone in the country.

Honduras is the only country in Latin America where access to emergency contraception is banned and one of the few countries in the region where abortion is prohibited under any circumstances, including in cases of rape or incest.

Many see Vice President Harris’ trip to Honduras as a sign that Washington intends to work closely with Honduras and other Central American countries to stem the flow of migration northward. But many Honduran immigrants living in the United States are hoping Washington does something more for their homeland.

As of Monday afternoon, Honduras still had two parallel Congressional leaderships, both under suspicion of illegality, a sign that does not bode well for the stability for the first days of Castro’s presidency. 

Record participation and a 20-point lead for Xiomara Castro defeated fears of a stolen election based on violence during the campaign and past fraud. If confirmed, the results will swing Honduras to the left after 12 years of National Party rule marred by narco-politics and intersecting humanitarian and economic crises.

Honduras, in Brief: A last-minute alliance has shifted the pre-election scene to open the possibility of the first-ever victory of a left-wing party. In the middle of an increasingly violent campaign season, President Juan Orlando Hernández’s latest move was to reignite a decades-long territorial dispute with El Salvador. 

“Nayib Bukele is no longer bound by law. And to the extent there are laws, they will be disregarded, eliminated or rewritten. He is the law. Perhaps millions of Salvadorans haven’t yet realized it, but this is how a republic dies and a dictatorial regime is born.”

Several other members of the interim government have also been arrested, including former General Williams Kaliman.

On October 29, the president ordered troops to the border, even though the caravan was —and still is— hundreds of miles away.

The murder of the environmental and indigenous rights activist sparked worldwide outrage and placed pressure on the Honduran government.

How an election was “stolen.”

I fear that no matter who is ultimately declared winner, this tumult can only end in more bloodshed.

Our taking over of the streets in Honduras is not a response to any strategy of the opposition to Juan Orlando Hernández. On the contrary, I think that the opposition themselves is surprised at the Honduran people’s actions.

What happened this week?

The violence in Honduras is not trifling.

Clinton will find a way to win, no matter how, it seems. And that’s not really democracy.

When a military coup removed the president of Honduras in 2009, Sec. Clinton was forced to choose between democracy and business interests. You already know which she chose.

You can read the Spanish version here. Honduras has never been well-known, rather simply thought of as a small Third World country and not much more than a name on a world map. Yet the levels of violence, the death toll, a proliferation of gangs and gang activity, and an increase in organized crime and […]

Most people don’t care about Honduras: even historically-conscious Latinos and keen observers of Latin American happenings. Big-name countries like Mexico, Brazil and Cuba hog all the limelight, because they either have substantial economies, a storied relationship with the United States or a strong emigrant presence in America. (In the case of Mexico, it’s all three.) […]
