Inside The Americas - Power of the Honduran Armed Forces

  • 10 years ago
In-depth reports and analysis from our extensive network of correspondents throughout the region on the most important developments in Latin America. Today's program takes us to Honduras, where following the military coup that ousted democratically elected president Manuel Zelaya in 2009, the power of the military on all levels of the government has mushroomed. This renewed military presence was designed to compensate for the lack of support for President Juan Orlando Hernandez and repress the organized resistance and social movements, but it has returned the country to the situation it faced in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. teleSUR
