En solidarité avec le COPINH et pour la défense des eaux du Honduras

Friends of the Earth Latin America and the Caribbean (ATALC) expresses solidarity with COPINH and its coordinator, Berta Zuñiga, following armed attacks on members in the department of La Paz. The statement links these threats to 'development' projects funded by USAID and warns against the privatization, commodification, and financialization of water reserves in Honduras.

• Members of the COPINH general coordination, specifically Berta Zuñiga, Sotero Chavarría, and Asunción Martínez, were attacked by armed men after conducting support activities in the community of Cancire, located in the municipality of Santiago Puringle in the department of La Paz.
• COPINH reports that these aggressions occurred while the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) maintains interests in the region, with its development projects causing conflicts between communities.
• There is a concern that water reserve privatization strategies are being implemented under the guise of water purification projects, leading to the commodification and financialization of nature and water in Honduras, mirroring patterns seen elsewhere in Latin America.
• ATALC argues that external development promises are being used to divide communities to facilitate capital accumulation at the expense of traditional ancestral lifestyles and sustainable land management methods.
