Mama Berta sends a message to the US, Canada & “international community”
[link removed]
After the Honduran people ousted (January 27, 2022) the US and Canadian-backed drug-trafficking regime headed by Juan Orlando Hernandez, and after Juan Orlando Hernandez was arrested (February 15, 2022) on organized crime and cocaine trafficking charges, Mama Berta (mother of Berta Caceres, assassinated March 2, 2016) sends this message to the US, Canada and “international community”.

Why thousands of Hondurans & Guatemalans flee into exile year after year
The U.S. and Canadian governments, Spain and E.U., the World Bank and global businesses and investors (in the sectors of mining, dams, African palm, sugarcane, bananas, garment “sweatshop” factors, tourism, etc.) maintain full relations with anti-democratic, corrupt, repressive, ‘open-for-global-business’ governments in Honduras and Guatemala, contributing to and benefitting from exploitation and poverty, environmental harms, repression and human rights violations, corruption and impunity.

Act / Stir up the pot / Chip away
Keep sending copies of Rights Action information (and that of other solidarity groups/ NGOs) to family, friends, your networks, politicians and media, asking: ‘Why do our governments, companies and investment firms help cause, benefit from and turn a blind eye to poverty, repression and violence, environmental and health harms that cause the forced migrancy / refugee crisis in Guatemala and Honduras?’
