« Before Her Assassination, Berta Cáceres Singled Out Hillary Clinton for Backing Honduran Coup »
▻http://www.democracynow.org/2016/3/11/before_her_assassination_berta_caceres_singled
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.

#The_Economist magazine has had a “Slavery Problem” since 1843
▻http://africasacountry.com/the-economist-magazine-has-had-a-slavery-problem-since-1843The Economist has a #slavery problem, as #Greg_Grandin has recently called it. Grandin’s wonderful article is a response to a series of lamentable book reviews published by The Economist that deal with the topic of slavery: Grandin’s own The Empire of Necessity, and more recently #Edward_Baptist’s The Half Has NeverBeen Told. The list goes on, as Grandin reports. But, […]
