Armed Forces vs. campesinos: Militarizing the Bajo Aguan http://hondurasculturepolitics.blogspot.com/2010/04/armed-forces-vs-campesinos-militarizing.html
News reports from Honduras today confirm that, fed up with negotiating with ungrateful campesinos, the Lobo Sosa government is proceeding to escalate the confrontation with unarmed campesinos seeking land rights on the Honduran coast.
El Heraldo reports that more than 30 military transports have arrived to quell what it calls the zozobra there-- literally, anxiety. Whose anxiety? Even the right wing El Heraldo recognizes what is coming:While the Honduran governor prepares to receive the president-elect of Costa Rica, Laura Chinchilla, this Monday, the conditions for a massacre are being created.
