Here, a letter of concern from Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, a country that is not politically, economically, militarily propping up the military-backed, narco-regime in power in Honduras.
This letter contrasts with the lack of response from the leaders of the countries (the United States and Canada) that most fully support the regime in Honduras – a “democratic allie” since the 2009 military coup ousted Honduras’ last democratically elected government.
