Evo Morales Accuses US Southern Command for Honduras’ Coup

HAVANA, Cuba, Jul 14 (acn) Bolivian President Evo Morales accused the
U.S. Southern Command of hatching the coup d'état staged in Honduras
against President Manuel Zelaya and asserted that the Empire’s (US
Government) structure is still in force in spite of the arrival to the
presidency of Barack Obama.
“I have first-hand information that the empire (US) carried out the
coup d’état in Honduras through the US Southern Command,” said the head
of state in a press conference, with which he concluded his first
official visit to Uruguay.
“Even though the American president might not know it, the empire’s
structure is still in force,” added Morales, who noted that what nearly
happened last year in his country, a civil coup, “is now taking place in
Honduras,” reported Prensa Latina.
What happened in the Central American nation is “an aggression, a
provocation of the Empire,” said the Bolivian president.
“However, the people have historically defeated the empires,
different empires,” said Morales and later he urged Latin American
countries to “think of how people live under dictatorships.”
In Uruguay, Morales and his counterpart Tabare Vazquez signed a
joint communiqué expressing that they do not recognize any authority
that emerges from the breaking of the constitutional order in Honduras
and that they only recognize the legitimate government of President
Manuel Zelaya.
