Undo the Coup

Civil war in Central America the first time in more than a quarter of a century, and in Honduras on Sunday. Rouser soldiers Honduras President Manuel Zelaya's escort bed and went into exile in Costa Rica. The coup, General Romeo Vasquez of Honduras, was sentenced to imprisonment in the United States, European Union, the United Nations, the Organization of American States, as well as all of Honduras and national neighbors. The outbreak of popular protests in the streets of Honduras, and the contents of the report and the extent of the loyalty of the army coup against Zelaya.

The United States has long been the rule in the Western Hemisphere. President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton and Secretary of State for new ways, from the darkest days of military dictatorship, repression and murder. Obama said that when he went a summit meeting in April in the United States "(a) per ton, and we're trying to control the terms and conditions, but I can assure you that we will seek an equal partnership is senior partner, junior high schools in our partnership."

Who knows the history of the two countries, as well as in the South and the United States, said Dr. Hugh Almendares words, doctors, award-winning human rights activists in Honduras and the United States Roy January bourgeois father, a pastor who fought for many years, and the closure of the U.S. Army Institute of America) of the oceans) at Fort Benning, Georgia, Honduras attacked the two men of the ocean.

State Oceanic Administration in 2000 changed its name to the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation (WHINSEC), and the United States military facilities, trains Latin American soldiers. The SOA has trained more than 60,000 troops, many of whom returned to their homes, and human rights violations, torture, extrajudicial executions and massacres.

Almendares, targeting the army and death squads in Honduras, are the victims of the training. I said from the capital, Tegucigalpa, Honduras: "The majority of training schools .... the U.S. military, guardians of the multinational in the United States or other countries .... and the military in Honduras is a very strong person with a very rich, and the preservation of the rich country, who of poverty. We have for your country. "

Born in Louisiana, where the bourgeoisie, a Catholic priest in 1972. He has worked in Bolivia and forced the oceans (Training), General Hugo Banzer dictatorship. The killing of Archbishop Oscar Romero and the killing of four members of the Catholic Church in El Salvador in 1980, protests, some of whom were dressed in killer Fort Benning in the oceans. 6 Jesuit priests, and the house and her daughter were killed in El Salvador in 1989, and the creation of the bourgeoisie and of the oceans and the Watch was established in an international campaign to close the ocean.

Honduras Vasquez attended the coup leaders of the oceans in 1976 and 1984. Air Force General Javier Suazo, Prince Louis, who participated in the coup, is the training of the Ocean in 1996.

Bourgeoisie 'offices Watch service is a symbol of the section of Fort Benning. He expressed his disappointment in recent years more and more secrecy in the oceans / WHINSEC. He told me: "They are trying to school for democracy and transparency, but we can not obtain the name of the person in the training of more than five years, but very few signs of hope, the United States, and the House of Representatives approved the proposal of the amendment last week that the National Defense Authorization Act, and the strength of the name of the school, issued an order from the people who train here. "It also requires that the amendment in the House of Representatives and the Senate Committee on Conferences.

The bourgeois the urgent necessity for the same for decades. His voice is well-known Fort Benning, where he was the first arrest of more than 25 years when I was a tree climber in the evening near the barracks where the soldiers training in El Salvador at that time.

Romero criticized the registration of the bourgeoisie in his last speech, he had been killed. Directly to the Archbishop of El Salvador said that the soldiers in his country: "In the name of God, the name of the person who suffers from such a sky so crying out loud every day more, I beg you, please, and I in order to: stop the repression."

Nearly 30 years later, in the countries bordering Romero of El Salvador, the United States has an opportunity to change course and support the democratic system in Honduras. Return.
