1. Interesting article
Edited on Fri Aug-07-09 09:47 PM by roody
Last Saturday, at a hastily called public meeting in Tegucigalpa, more than one hundred rank and file participants in the Honduran civil resistance and some of its known leaders came out to speak with Ivan Marovich, the Serbian resistance veteran who had been invited by local and national anti-coup organizations to share his experiences.
It was one of three such sessions, and the only public meeting of the three. Almost immediately upon the completion of the screening of the film Bringing Down a Dictator (you can watch it via YouTube in six parts beginning here) about the Serbian movement that toppled the government of Slobodan Misolevic, a wind storm outside brought down a light pole, and with it the electric wires that lit the auditorium.
The Q & A session was thus held in darkness, and yet nobody left. Every attendee stayed for more than an hour with questions and comments to share. The lack of light in the windowless auditorium provided the feel of an underground meeting of the resistance.
One of the questions was:
Q. How can we cause a headache for the dictatorship?

2. Lovely photos of the Honduran people on their highway march! And a rivetting article...
...with very practical, down-to-earth advice and examples for peaceful civil resistance. We need to learn from the Latin Americans, on this and so many other matters.

Great article! Thanks for posting!

3. Wonderfully done article, opens so many windows, lets in so much light.
There is room for hope. A lot of room.

The photos are wonderful, the people beautiful: "Nos tienen miedo por que no tenemos miedo."

Thanks.
