Gringo Military Bases in Honduras Again  http://quotha.net/node/2046  Through instinct, information, and knowledge, the indigenous people of Honduras – represented by COPINH and the Black Fraternal Organization of Honduras, OFRANEH, among others – foresaw the militarization of Honduran society in the aftermath of the coup and forewarned us all.They accurately interpreted that the concession of 48 rivers in watersheds with the richest biodiversity in the country, and the grabbing of land and territories by transnational corporations and drug-traffickers, is part of the hegemonic military strategy.In response, the indigenous people and black communities have held three national conferences against militarization in less than one year: the first in La Esperanza; the second in La Ceiba; and the third in Tocoa, Colón.Yesterday, as an outcome of these conferences, the International Observatory of Human Rights was inaugurated in the city of Tocoa.While the Pentagon, CIA, DEA and the State Department use an old military agreement from 1954, and a more recent version approved by Carlos Flores Facussé in 2001, to justify the permanent military occupation, the indigenous people use Convention 169 of the International Labour Organization, the legal awards made by former European kings, and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in their defense.We join the indigenous people in rejecting the presence of foreign troops – be they Colombian, Israeli, or from the United States – just as we reject the presence of 85 private security companies with 70,000 armed men.Equally, we reject the presence of the golpista Honduran Army in the country’s’ streets and those in the agricultural areas operating under the name Xatruch forces and Operation Lightning.There is no better time than now, before the toxically commercial Christmas shopping takes over the markets, to warn that the military presence is synonymous with violence, disrespect, and death, and that we do not want the military among us.Get out, get out, foreign military troops, and nationalist mercenaries, we want you out too!COFADEH –Comite de Familias de Detenidos y Desaparecidos de Honduras
