The World : Honduras OKs Peace Trek

The Honduran government has reversed its earlier position and will allow participants in a caravan for peace in Central America to travel through Honduras on their way to Mexico, organizers announced. “Through the Honduran Embassy in Managua (Nicaragua), we received a telex from the president telling us the march is authorized,” march organizer Torill Eide of Norway said of a message he received from Honduran President Roberto Suazo Cordova. There was no explanation for the change in policy. The more than 200 participants from 20 nations in the “International March for Peace in Central America” plan to enter Honduras on Saturday.
