Photo used to illustrate the story. (Probably file photo)

The deaths occurred in a region (near the border with El Salvador) that has been severely affected by drought this year.

News of the deaths of the two children was confirmed by Alden Rivera, lobito's vice Foreign Minister.
Who does not seem to have missed any meals lately.

Rivera said the government was contemplating declaring a state of emergency and taking "immediate measures" to avert more starvation deaths, especially among children.

-------------------

Some may recall that the lobito government back in August rejected a shipment of two million kilos of wheat from the United States. Reason: The wheat was infected with Japanese Beetle.

The two largest newspapers, El Heraldo of Teguz, and La Prensa of San Pedro Sula, have not reported the story as write this. Both are golpista and lobito supporters.

1. Rabs, this is monstrous. Starved. That's o.k., apparently as long as the coup plotters

are able to eat enough for five people each, day by day.

How close do you imagine any of these original coup leaders are to starvation at any given moment?

I went to find anything else available on the original posted article, but you are so right, they are keeping it all under wraps. Exactly what you'd expect. NOTHING in English whatsoever, of course, and there never WILL be, at least not from the corporate media.

Will be thinking about this news, and grab anything I see on it to post if I find anything at all.

Beyond horrible.
