The Clinton Backed Honduran Regime Is Picking Off Indigenous Leaders
Hillary Clinton will be good for women. Ask Berta Cáceres. But you
can’t. She’s dead. Gunned down yesterday, March 2, at midnight, in her
hometown of La Esperanza, Intibuca, in Honduras.
Cáceres was a vocal
and brave indigenous leader, an opponent of the 2009 Honduran coup that
Hillary Clinton, as secretary of state, made possible. In The Nation,
Dana Frank and I covered that coup as it unfolded. Later, as Clinton’s
emails were released, others, such as Robert Naiman, Mark Weisbrot, and
Alex Main, revealed the central role she played in undercutting Manuel
Zelaya, the deposed president, and undercutting the opposition movement
demanding his restoration. In so doing, Clinton allied with the worst
sectors of Honduran society.
