En solidaridad con COPINH y la defensa de las aguas en Honduras

Amigos de la Tierra de América Latina y el Caribe (ATALC) condemns armed attacks against COPINH members, including Berta Zuñiga, in the Department of La Paz, Honduras. The organization links these threats to a broader context of territorial defense against an extractivist model and warns that USAID-funded development projects may be fostering community divisions to facilitate the privatization and financialization of water sources.

• Members of the COPINH coordination general, specifically Berta Zuñiga, Sotero Chavarría, and Asunción Martínez, were confronted by armed men in the Department of La Paz after providing support to the community of Cancire in the Municipality of Santiago Puringla.
• The document alleges that USAID cooperation agency projects, framed as development, are creating conflicts between communities and may be part of strategies to privatize water sources through municipalization and potabilization processes.
• Environmental and territorial defenders in Honduras face ongoing risks and human rights violations despite numerous warnings from national and international organizations, driven by an extractivist model and the pursuit of capital accumulation over ancestral ways of life.
