Honduran businessmen shove aside agreement reached between government and Ngobe about Barro Blanco hydroelectric project.
An attempt to overthrow Ngobe cacica Silvia Carrera appears to have been soundly defeated as she receives massive support. No wonder, we say, after having met her a couple of times.
The Ngobe have given the government an ultimatum: Suspend construction of Barro Blanco by Friday or face massive protests. "This battle will be decided in the streets, not at the negotiating table".
President Martinelli may be invisible, but our sources tell us that behind the scenes he is yelling and screaming and having rage attacks as if there's no tomorrow, demanding that his hydroelectric plants be realized.
