Honduras: Militarization of security forces proceeds with US blessing

2015-01-20 1

The Honduran government continues to militarize the country's security forces, with the approval of Washington. President Juan Orlando Hernandez was set to hold a high level security meeting in the United States on Monday, the second this year. Using the war on drugs as a pretext, the Honduran government is seeking to boost military spending and this could be accompanied by an increased US military presence in the country.
