The Honduran Resistance movement recently protested the meeting of the General Assembly of the Organization of American States in El Salvador, June 5-7, where a delegation from the Honduran regime of Porfirio Lobo participated, enjoyed Honduras' official re-entry into the OAS.It is not a coincidence that the focus of this OAS meeting is "citizen security". The military coup has again converted Honduras into the spearhead of the U.S. military project in Central America.
Since the coup, three U.S. military bases have already been established, and there are reports of a strong presence of both U.S. troops and of the presence of both official Colombian security apparatus and Colombian paramilitary forces.After consolidating Plan Colombia, as part of the "war on drugs" in South America, the U.S. intends to launch the Merida Initiative / CARCI from Colombia into Mesoamerica.It is not surprising that this project of re-militarization in Central America is happening in areas of significant transnational economic interest.
