U.S. Southern Command chief praises human rights programs of Honduran, El Salvadoran and Guatemalan militaries
[link removed]

In this short interview with Kawsachun News ([link removed]) , U.S. Navy Adm. Craig Faller, commander of U.S. Southern Command, praises U.S. assistance for human rights programs with military defense ministries in partner nations such as Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala. Faller praises the militaries of each country for their human rights efforts and records.

“Southcom has a human rights program, … now in its 20th plus year. We use this program with our partners. We have helped our partners – Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador – install human rights observers and advisors in their ministries and with their chiefs of defense. We hold seminars. I routinely meet, through this program, with human rights NGOs in the US and in partner nations to listen to their concerns. These human rights NGOs, they know their stuff, and we take it very very seriously. […]”

2021: Business, repression and corruption as usual
There is no relief in sight for the majority populations of El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala - all controlled by corrupt, repressive, open-for-global-business regimes, considered “democratic allies” of U.S. and Canada.

As tens of thousands of desperate people flee into exile, every year, from these three countries, it appears clear the Biden Administration will continue with U.S. foreign policy as usual in Central America. Canada will remain lock step with the U.S.

U.S. and Canadian policies and actions continue to entrench corruption, exploitation, repression and a fundamental lack of democracy in these countries.
