It’s nearly ten years since a military coup in Honduras ousted democratically elected President Manuel Zelaya, flying him to exile in Costa Rica.
During his presidency, Zelaya had raised the minimum wage, begun negotiating with campesino movements to restore land rights and signed up to the Petrocaribe and Alba regional trade agreements, moving the poverty-stricken island away from its traditional position of US domination and towards co-operative relations with countries such as Bolivia and Venezuela.
Honduras had been subject to sustained US interference since the 19th century, through US control of its agricultural, banking and mining sectors, coupled with direct political and military interventions to protect US interests in 1907 and 1911, so the scale and radical nature of the change that Zelaya was attempting can’t be underestimated.
