Hi everyone,
I am sending to the list a number of news about the current
political situation in my country, Honduras. Though these
are political and social issues, I believe them to be some
of the real roots of the socioeconomic underdevelopment and
environmental degradation in my country like in the
rest of 'developing countries'.
Most of them are newspaper articles. I hope you became
actively sympathetic with the Honduran people. If so, I'll
appreciate you all send e-mails to President Clinton asking
for declassification of the CIA's documents about Honduran
army's dead quads, battalion 316, and Human Rights as well
as participation of Honduran militaries in the traffic of
drugs.
I think this is about time for the American administrations
to stop supporting corrupt, criminal armies in my country
and Central America. It is about time to support Democracy
based on Social Justice and Human Rights for these
countries!!
Thank you very much for your solidarity.
