Honduras: The Rise and Fall of a 'Narco-state'
The 麻豆官网首页入口's Central America Correspondent, Will Grant reports from Honduras on the aftermath of a near-failed state.
During his 8-year rule, President Juan Orlando Hernandez wielded absolute power in Honduras. The impoverished Central American nation became characterised as a 'narco-state' and his administration was accused by a US judge of being engaged in nothing less than "state sponsored drug trafficking".
Yet for the most part, he enjoyed Washington's unequivocal support especially under the Trump Administration. Now he sits in a US jail awaiting trial on drug smuggling and weapons charges. The 麻豆官网首页入口's Central America Correspondent, Will Grant reports from Honduras on the aftermath of a near-failed state and analyses what the removal of the so-called 'Narco President' means for the country.
