Before Her Assassination, Berta Cáceres Singled Out Hillary Clinton for Backing Honduran Coup

  

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is facing a new round of
questions about her handling of the 2009 coup in Honduras that ousted
democratically elected President Manuel Zelaya. Since the coup, Honduras
has become one of the most violent places in the world. Last week,
indigenous environmental activist Berta Cáceres was assassinated in her
home. In an interview two years ago, Cáceres singled out Clinton for her
role supporting the coup. "We’re coming out of a coup that we can’t put
behind us. We can’t reverse it," Cáceres said. "It just kept going. And
after, there was the issue of the elections. The same Hillary Clinton,
in her book, 'Hard Choices,' practically said what was going to happen
in Honduras. This demonstrates the meddling of North Americans in our
country. The return of the president, Mel Zelaya, became a secondary
issue. There were going to be elections in Honduras. And here she
[Clinton] recognized that they didn’t permit Mel Zelaya’s return to the
presidency." We play this rarely seen clip of Cáceres and speak to
historian Greg Grandin.
