Honduras: the confusion continues
We have kept a close eye this week on events in and around Honduras. Our Honorary Consuls (based in 3 key places in Honduras) have been particularly helpful in giving us accurate information about e.g. demonstrations in the major cities. We have also been meeting diplomatic, military and business contacts to get a feel for opinions in the region, as well as staying in close touch with other British Embassies – for example, in Washington where the Organisation of American States (OAS) has its headquarters. We hope that confrontation can be avoided ahead of the elections that are due to be held in Honduras in November this year. The OAS has a crucial role to play this weekend in helping to find a peaceful, political way forward. But for now, the situation remains unpredictable. Just today, we have issued a further update to our travel advice warning of possible confrontations over the weekend.
