By upsidedownworld.org : August 05, 2010
Events occurring on the northern coast of Honduras around the agrarian conflict in the Valle de Aguan remain largely unreported, even as the human rights situation continues to deteriorate.

- Corruption, Impunity, and the OAS High Commission
By hondurasculturepolitics.blogspot.com : August 02, 2010
Today begins a litany of denunciations by the far right of the OAS report as covered in the pro-coup press of Honduras.

- Proceso Digital: Advocacy Journalism?
By hondurasculturepolitics.blogspot.com : August 01, 2010

By hondurasculturepolitics.blogspot.com : July 30, 2010

By hondurasculturepolitics.blogspot.com : July 27, 2010
It is far too easy to become swept up in political strategies and statements. While the outside world is consumed with questions of OAS recognition, inside Honduras, policy decisions continue to be made, and these are moving mainly below the radar.
