Reconciliation and building up a new Honduras

We have to separate two related yet separate issues: internal reconciliation and establishing a new Honduras. Yes, part of establishing a new Honduras requires building up the internal reconciliation between those groups in Honduras who were so blatantly distanced -even further- by the rhetoric and politics of Mr. Zelaya Rosales. Reconciliation is needed to put us back in the track of working together to find internal solutions to our problems. Mr. Zelaya Rosales managed to polarize the nation to a level not seen before hand.


Mr. Ramon Custodio, the National Human Rights Commissioner, described this clearly, by indicating that "Hondurans did not elect a president only for achieving reconciliation, the new president was elected to govern well the country. Good governance includes reconciliation, but is not the only important aspect." See a report in HonduDiario (Too see article please click here).

We have also to evaluate and clearly define our foreign policy vis-a-vis our own national identity. We cannot allow any more intervention in our national affairs. No more Venezuela, Ecuador, Nicaragua or Brazil governments telling us what to do, nor the US or the European Union for that matter. We need to grasp the idea that we need to evolve as a nation alone...and alone only...
