US Military Presence In Central America Could Spark Atrocities, Warns Paper

MEXICO, May 28 (BERNAMA-NNN-PRENSA LATINA) -- The new deployment of US troops in Central America will open another cycle of mass violations of human rights and atrocities in the region, Mexican daily newspaper La Jornada warned Thursday.

In an article, La Jornada says that in previous years, the deployment of US soldiers in the area had meant an increase in violations committed by the military forces led, trained and funded by the Pentagon and the CIA.

"The presence of the US military contingents have been translated into massacres, mass human rights violations, backing of tyrants and the loss of sovereignty in the affected nations," said the journal.

La Jornada recalled that many military incursions ended up in occupations or in the formation of "puppet regimes" in Nicaragua, Guatemala and Honduras.
