Please know that we are safe and do not feel any sense of danger at all here where we are on the North Coast of Honduras. We are having a normal day here (whatever that means) and are keeping close tabs on what is happening in relation to the crisis.
The entire world seems aligned against Honduras this morning and mis-aligned with the facts of what is being characterized as a military coup. In previous updates I've explained why what has happened does not fit with the Webster's definition of a coup, but rather a legal action by a deocratically elected government whose president was breaking the law.
I've chosen four articles that seem to reflect the truth of the situation for anyone who would like to read more and be more informed about what is really happening:
The first two articles are from the Wall Street Journal:
Honduran Officials Defend Coup
Opinion: Honduras Defends Its Democracy
These two articles are from personal blogs from people that I have no knowledge of at all. I presume they are Honduran, but I have no idea who they are. What they have to say rings true with everything I know about the situation and the facts leading up to the crisis. I really appreciate the information contained in their articles and their stance for democracy here in Honduras:
Hondurans For Democracy
The Silent Majority of Honduras Speaks
