Honduras under Crisis (Pt.2)
|
So it's been a couple of days since my last entry. Here's the latest news:
Mel flew from Costa Rica to Nicaragua along with Hugo Chavez who had him picked up, later joined by Ecuatorian dictator Rafael Correa and Cuban Fidel Castro's now-ruling brother Raul Castro, who in a press conference revealed that they will not back down and help Zelaya regain his position as President. There have been strong rumors that they have already deployed troops in Honduran Borders, ready to advance on their command, but still nothing solid on that.
Yesterday, Mel told the press he would be going to the UN today to expose his situation and would then come down to Honduras on thursday with a UN Respresentative, although Micheletti has stated that if he is to enter Honduran territory they would be proceeding to arrest him immediately.
These pictures a friend and myself took are from a Peace march that was merely beginning this morning against Mel's autocratic government, but was miscontinued as it was interrupted by an act of violence from those who still support Mel's communist ideals. Unarmed men, women, and children running for their lives in fear of getting hit by stones and sticks from those deranged protesters. Unforunately some of them suffered that ill fate, including some of my own friends from school and work.

Thanks very much for your blog, Rafael. I am particularly interested in the events in Honduras because I have been making trips to El Salvador since 2002. Realizing that the situations in El Salvador are different, yet the nightmare happening in Honduras could certainly happen elsewhere, and El Salvador is probably no exception. Keep up the good work, Rafael, at keeping others informed about Honduras. Thanks again and may the peace of God be with you and all you love. Know that you are in the prayers of many of us in Canada!

Thank you, Marg. We need all the support we can get. For those of you who read this here's a quick update: Mel was denied entry to Honduras and retreated to Costa Rica, where Micheletti sent a representative to negotiate a solution with Mel, but Mel refused saying he wanted to deal with Micheletti personally, so the deal was off. Mel sustains he will reattempt to enter Honduran territory, illegally if necessary. In the meantime in Honduran soil, there are no more riots in the city streets(thank God), but have taken the roads instead, difficulting communication in between cities. But at least the cities have regained some partial peace and people are trying to readjust to their normal lifestyle and activities :)
