Honduran Leader Lifts State of Emergency
The government said Tuesday that it is lifting a state of emergency today in the country’s two main cities because calm has returned after last week’s violent attack on the U.S. Embassy.
An official statement by President Jose Azcona Hoyo was read on national radio stations announcing the end to the state of emergency, decreed last Friday in the capital and the northern city of San Pedro Sula. It was originally due to run until April 23.
No violence has been reported since last Friday, when rioting continued after a mob attacked the U.S. Embassy on Thursday night.
