Honduras: Garífuna People Resist The Seizure Of Their Territories

August 31, 2026 Federico Pita, Resumen English. Resist! Garifuna, Honduras, Land grabs, Racism

For weeks now, members of various Garífuna communities have been gathered in front of the Supreme Court of Justice of Honduras. Organized by the Honduran Black Fraternal Organization (OFRANEH), led by Miriam Miranda, they have set up an indefinite encampment there to demand the dismissal of the case against five defenders from the community of San Juan, in Tela, and to call on the state to comply with international rulings recognizing their territorial rights. The protest also highlights a campaign of racism and criminalization that, according to Garifuna organizations, seeks to legitimize the dispossession of their ancestral territories.

‘Hondurasgate’: A Warning For Latin America

May 24, 2026 John Perry and Roger D. Harris, LA Progressive. Educate! Honduras, Latin America, Monroe Doctrine, US Imperialism

Governance in Honduras shifted sharply to the extreme right within months of National Party’s Nasry Asfura taking office on January 27, succeeding the Libre party’s progressive Xiomara Castro. In November 30 elections, the National Party was trailing a poor third before Trump threatened to end all aid to Honduras unless Asfura won. Even then, Asfura had only a wafer-thin plurality, which might well have disappeared had the electoral council not broken its mandate by halting the count before all the votes had been tallied.

Hondurasgate: Juan Orlando Hernández, Zionism, And US Imperialism

May 5, 2026 Diario Red, Orinoco Tribune. Educate! Honduras, Joe Biden, Juan Orlando Hernandez, US Imperialism, Zionism

In the late 1990s, Juan Orlando Hernández was elected deputy to Honduras’ National Congress under the banner of the National Party. For over a decade, he built legislative influence, control of internal party networks, and alliances with business and security sectors. His presidency was inaugurated in 2014 with a platform promising a frontal assault on organized crime and drug trafficking. At the time, Honduras was one of the most violent countries in the world, with homicide rates exceeding 80 per 100,000 inhabitants. As president of Congress, Hernández had promoted the armed forces’ participation in policing and the creation of structures such as the Military Police of Public Order.

In Memoriam Berta Cáceres

March 14, 2026 John Perry, Popular Resistance. Educate! Assassination, Berta Caceres, Environmental Defenders, Honduras, Indigenous Activism, Neoliberalism, Social Movements

Ten years ago Berta Cáceres, a campaigner against dams and mining projects that were displacing rural communities in Honduras, said that death threats had forced her to lead a ‘fugitive existence’. Most of the threats came from a company, Desarrollos Energeticos SA (DESA), that was planning a hydroelectric project on the Gualcarque River, sacred to Cáceres’s Indigenous Lenca community. Hired killers were tracking her movements. An attempt to assassinate her on 5 February 2016 was aborted. On 1 March, Cáceres said goodbye to her youngest daughter, who was returning to college.

US Attacks In Venezuela, Greenland Lay Groundwork For Billionaire Fiefdoms

On January 3, 2026, Tim Stern, a German investor, was sleeping peacefully at his Venezuela residence when the phone on his small bedside table suddenly went wild. As he explained to Timothy Allen of the “Free Cities Podcast,” calls streamed in immediately after news broke that the United States had bombed Caracas in the early hours of the morning. Within hours, it was clear that Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro had been captured and was being sent to the United States — a change, Stern said in the podcast, that “is going to be the start of an absolute bonanza here in Venezuela.”

Peter Thiel Is Unleashing A Neocolonial Billionaire Fantasy In Honduras

February 16, 2026 Edith Romero, Truthout. Educate! Honduras, Neocolonialism, Palantir, Peter Thiel, ZEDES

In April 2025, Peter Thiel’s Palantir made headlines after documents were released detailing its partnership with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to create ImmigrationOS, a massive database of information gathered from a variety of sources including the IRS, in order to surveil, detain, and deport immigrants. Thiel is not new to spearheading endeavors that aim to dehumanize and attack people of color. In fact, the tech mogul is one of the billionaires leading our modern-day version of tech neocolonialism, the new-yet-old imperial monster that colonizes land, extracts resources, exploits natives, and is happy to profit off of their suffering.

Who Governs Honduras?

January 13, 2026 John Perry, London Review of Books. Educate! Elections, Honduras, US Regime Change, US-backed coup

Donald Trump’s attack on Venezuela and the kidnapping of its head of state have overshadowed his less brazen but possibly more effective regime-change operation in Honduras. No one can be sure if the National Party’s Nasry ‘Tito’ Asfura really won the presidential election on 30 November, but he was Trump’s endorsed candidate and will almost certainly assume office on 27 January. Since 2021 Honduras has had a left-wing government, headed by the Libre party’s Xiomara Castro. She revitalised a neglected public health service, reduced poverty and curbed gang violence. But presidential power in Honduras is heavily constrained.

Honduras: Electoral Coup Was Unprecedented Fascist Operation

Ricardo Salgado, the Honduran secretary of Strategic Planning, said that the country suffered a new form of coup d’état following the proclamation of right-wing candidate Nasry Asfura as the president of Honduras by the two CNE councilors who belong to the Honduran bipartisan system: Ana Paola Hall García and Cossette Alejandra López. On December 24, the two aforementioned CNE officials declared Asfura the winner of the November 30 elections, without completing the special recount or resolving the challenges filed in response to the numerous irregularities reported.

Honduras On The Edge: Xiomara Castro Calls For Popular Mobilization

After a five-day hiatus and more than two weeks since the elections, the Honduran National Electoral Council (CNE) has resumed counting votes in an electoral process that has been widely questioned by various political forces on the left and right in Honduras. According to the CNE, several technical problems are hindering the count. According to official data, the candidate of the National Party of Honduras (PNH), right-wing Nasry Asfura (backed, among others, by US President Donald Trump) maintains a slight but sustained lead (40.53%) over television presenter Salvador Nasralla of the Liberal Party of Honduras (PLH) (39.21%).

Honduras’ LIBRE Party Calls For Election Annulment

Manuel Zelaya, General Coordinator of Freedom and Refoundation Party (LIBRE) and the opposition alliance against dictatorship, says an acta-by-acta count conducted by LIBRE shows Salvador Nasralla as the winner of the last general elections. However, these results might be nonetheless affected by what he called “electoral terrorism imposed through a manipulated TREP,” citing 26 leaked audio recordings as evidence of fraud. On that line, he denounced 3.6 million threatening messages sent to Hondurans receiving U.S. remittances and documented extortion by criminal groups, which “brutally distorted” voter intentions that had favored LIBRE candidate Rixi Moncada.

Another US-Backed Coup Attempt Is Underway In Honduras

December 8, 2025 Margaret Flowers, Clearing the FOG. Featured Campaign, Podcast - Clearing The FOG Elections, Honduras, US coup, US Interference

On November 30, six million Hondurans voted in their presidential election. One week later, the outcome of the election has not yet been announced due to credible allegations of fraud and illegal interference by the Trump administration, which includes threats of ending remittances from the United States that account for 25% of Hondura's GDP. Clearing the FOG speaks with Camila Escalante of Press TV and a founder of Kawsachun News who has covered Latin America for nearly ten years. Escalante provides background to the current political crisis and explains what is known so far about the election. She describes similarities to the 2019 coup in Bolivia.

Trump’s Interference Invalidates Presidential Election In Honduras

December 8, 2025 John Perry, Popular Resistance. Educate! Elections, Honduras, International Law, Trump Administration, US Interference

An extraordinary catalog of US interference – amounting to an electoral coup – may have destroyed what was already a struggling democracy in Honduras. Trump has succeeded in closing the door to progressive government and in all likelihood his preferred neoliberal candidate – previously trailing in many opinion polls – will be declared president when the count eventually finishes. While Washington’s aversion to foreign interference in its domestic elections verges on paranoia, the gross hypocrisy which runs through its foreign policy leaves it free of any compunction when meddling in other countries’ elections, especially in Latin America.

Trump Frees Drug Trafficker; US Meddles In Honduras’ Elections

December 5, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. Resistance Report Central America, Coups, Donald Trump, Elections, Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernandez, Latin America, Tito Asfura, US Imperialism

Donald Trump has pardoned and freed from prison one of the world’s worst drug dealers, the former dictator of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernández, who was convicted of trafficking more than 400 tons of cocaine and machine guns into the United States. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has been openly meddling in Honduras’ 2025 election. Honduran electoral officials have revealed evidence of massive fraud, aimed at putting a right-wing US-backed candidate in power. The US government sponsored a military coup against Honduras’ democratically elected left-wing president in 2009.

Honduras: Plot By The US-Backed Far Right Causes Political Crisis

December 4, 2025 Alejandra Garcia, Resumen English. Educate! Elections, Honduras, Politics, US Intervention

More than 6 million Hondurans went to the polls this past Sunday to elect the country’s next president in a process marked by irregularities, foreign interference, and coup attempts by the far right. Pre-election polls showed a wide lead for the candidate of the ruling Libre party, Rixi Moncada. However, today Honduras marks three days without knowing its president-elect, amid technical failures and an extremely tight count that keeps conservative candidates Nasry Asfura and Salvador Nasralla in a technical tie, in what Moncada describe as an electoral plot.

Honduran Elections 2025 Preliminary Results Released

December 1, 2025 teleSURenglish. Educate! Accountability, Elections, Fraud, Honduras

Honduran National Electoral Council released its first preliminary results after closing ballot boxes, but the Freedom and Refoundation Party quickly raised fraud alarms. The electoral day on November 30 in Honduras culminated with the National Electoral Council‘s disclosure of initial preliminary presidential results. These figures, representing 34.25% of processed ballots, immediately stirred intense nationwide expectation. Pre-election polls focused on the candidacies of former Defence Minister Rixi Moncada (FREE Party, LIBRE in Spanish) and the right-wing contenders: former Tegucigalpa Mayor Nasry Asfura (National Party) and television host Salvador Nasralla (Liberal Party).
