> Honduras Commemorates Tense Anniversary of Unresolved Military Coup
> by Adrienne Pine
> Ongoing U.S. efforts to secure Honduras's international recognition  
> depend on a narrative that says that the country has achieved  
> stability and reconciliation since president Porfirio Lobo took  
> office in January. However, Honduras is anything but stable and  
> reconciled, and opposing narratives carry the weight of the bloody  
> evidence accumulated in the months since Lobo's inauguration. These  
> tensions, and Honduras's deep wound of conflict that persists, show  
> much is at stake on this first anniversary of the military coup that  
> ousted former president Manuel Zelaya on June 28, 2009.

> On June 5, 2009 police moved in with lethal force to remove  
> indigenous protesters upset about their lands being opened up to oil  
> and gas drilling. The ensuing violence left 34 people dead and  
> hundreds wounded. Now, a year later, not only hasn't there been a  
> fair and impartial accounting of what led up to this violence in  
> Bagua, but also the conditions and reasons for it remain intact in  
> Peru. Development plans, designed to exploit the country's natural  
> resources, are accelerating in the country. And Peruvian President  
> Alan Garcia might just be undermining the country's new consultation  
> law, meant to make the decision-making process around these  
> development plans more democratic.

> The Honduran Business Elite One Year After the Coup
> by Dawn Paley
> The first anniversary of the June 28, 2009 military coup in Honduras  
> might just slide under the international radar, timed as it is right  
> after the Honduran national team kicks off at the World Cup. The  
> Honduran business community could hardly have planned it better

> the local machinery of the neoliberal economic model thought to be  
> at the center of the country's post-coup struggle, are also the ones  
> accused of being the "visible face" behind the ouster of former  
> President José Manuel Zelaya.
