Jan. 23, 2024 — Welcome back. To our DMV crowd, heads up! You can find El Faro English at our event tomorrow at USIP, a short walk away from the Lincoln Memorial.
The other Honduran migration crisis
Garifuna people from the Afro-Indigenous communities along Honduras’ Caribbean coast are migrating in large numbers both within Central America and to the United States, in one of the most searing and underreported human rights crises in the hemisphere.
The most pernicious problems facing the Garifuna —in particular, violent evictions from ancestral land— have continued under the Xiomara Castro administration, as these coastal communities are besieged by state security forces, organized crime, and tourism interests.
Join El Faro English on Wednesday at 9:30am ET, at the US Institute for Peace (USIP) in Washington, DC, as our editor José Luis Sanz moderates a compelling and urgent conversation on Garifuna marginalization and displacement in Honduras, with Garifuna activists Mirtha Colón and Julio Guity-Guevara.
They will share the stage with Ricardo Zúñiga, Biden’s former U.S. special envoy for the Northern Triangle, and Andrew Selee, president of the Migration Policy Institute.
You can register here, either to attend in person or remotely (with translation into Spanish).
