November 6, 2009 Please Distribute Widely
Dear Colleague,
November 5, the day that was supposed to bring the end of the coup
regime and the reinstatement of President Zelaya in Honduras, has
come and gone without the promised changes. Now, the National
Resistance Front against the Coup dEtat has issued a statement in
response to the continued stalling tactics of the coup government.
Tamar Sharibi reports:
Hundreds of people have congregated daily outside the Honduran
National Congress to pressure its members (known as Diputados, or
Deputies) to finally reinstate President Manuel Zelaya. The new
wave of hope came after the US State Departments visit that many
interpret as a tactic to guarantee the November 29 elections. While
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton proclaimed a breakthrough in
negotiations in Honduras, things on the ground still seemed to be
at a stalemate as of Thursday afternoon, November 5, the date that,
according to the accord signed last week, should have brought but
didnt bring the end of the coup regime.
Despite last weeks US Delegation and the accord that resulted,
police and military repression continue. On Thursday Oct 29, Day
124 of the resistance, a peaceful march organized by the resistance
movement and the UD, the Democratic Unification Party, the only
national political party to oppose the coup from the beginning,
came under physical attack from coup security forces. The Supreme
Electoral Tribunal (TSE, in its Spanish initials) had granted the
UD party a permit to hold the march. Interestingly enough, the
October 29 was also the first day that control over the military
was transferred to the TSE purportedly to guarantee the safety of
the elections.
So what conclusions can we draw from the US State Department visit?
Considering the US Embassys media contacts list or following the
mainstream media, one might be lead to believe that the State
Department delegation truly was as historic as Secretary Clinton
claimed it was. The walls of Tegucigalpa, though, shout a different
message: Solo el pueblo salva el pueblo, (Only the people save the
people). On the ground, most people never really trusted any of the
diplomatic visits in the first place.
