Honduran
Military
Forces
to Expel
Farmers
TEGUCIGALPA
-
Honduran
armed
forces
begin a
military
campaign
Saturday
in the
Bajo
Aguan
rural
area to
expel
farmers
from
their
lands,
with the
pretext
of
stopping
alleged
armed
groups.
Deputy
Security
Minister
Armando
Calidonio
made the
announcement
Friday
in San
Pedro
Sula,
and as a
pretext
for the
operations
he
showed
some
photos
of armed
minors.
The El
Aguan
Farmers
Movement
(MCA)
and the
National
People's
Resistance
Front (FNRP)
have
denied
the
existence
of such
groups
and the
occurrence
of armed
clashes.
There
have
been
murders,
massacres,
but
farmers
have
been the
only
victims,
the FNRP
denounced
on its
website.
The
military
actions
will
continue
in the
area,
and any
person
carrying
a gun
will be
detained,
Calidonio
warned.
The
actions
are part
of the
second
phase of
a plan
that
includes
the
eviction
of farms
in
dispute,
said
Rene
Maradiaga
Panchame,
the
second
director
of the
National
Police.
The
World
Rainforest
Movement
(WRM)
yesterday
joined
the
denunciation
by the
regional
office
of the
International
Union of
Food
Workers
of the
assassination
of
Honduran
farmers.
The WRM
asked
all the
mass
media in
Honduras
and the
rest of
Latin
America
to
publish
the
regional
office's
denunciation,
in which
it
demands
the end
of the
killings
of
farmers
and that
the
murderers
be
punished.
