HONDURAS: Flare-up of Bajo Aguán violence
Various Honduran organisations such as Plataforma Agraria, a regional network of over 30 peasant organisations, as well as international institutions like the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in Honduras (OACNUDH) have highlighted escalating violence in the northern Bajo Aguán region since late December 2024. Located in the departments of Colón and Yoro, the area has long been beset by violent water and land disputes. This again highlights the failure of the leftist Partido Libertad y Refundación (Libre) government led by President Xiomara Castro to make good on a key pledge – to investigate and resolve the violence in the Bajo Aguán.
