San Pedro Sula, Honduras
hundreds of Hondurans they are at the San Pedro Sula Metropolitan Bus Center waiting to leave in a caravan with the idea of arriving in the United States.
Most rest on the gram of the finish until the morning arrives to leave by the boulevard of north towards the customs point of Corinth, border with Guatemala.
The Hondurans decided, after a meeting, that they would leave at 5:00 am for Corinth, on the border with Guatemala.
Last night a caravan of at least 250 migrants Hondurans began its walk course in the border with Guatemala in its route towards the United States, under the argument of which in its country work does not exist.
Migrants crossed the border with Guatemala blindly this Thursday where the government decreed a curfew in the departments of Izabal, Zacapa, Chiquimula, Jutiapa, the Progress, Petén and Santa Rosa.
Guatemala demands that the migrants who enter present, in addition to their identity document, a negative proof of covid-19.
Many of the Hondurans they seek better living conditions and travel in the hope that the President-elect of the United States, Joe Biden, will welcome them.
Unemployed migrants
Migrants justify the exodus in extreme poverty and unemployment, the violence of gangs and drug traffickers in their country and the crisis left by the passage of two hurricanes in November.
“Don’t waste your time and money and don’t risk your safety and health,” U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) interim commissioner Mark A. Morgan recommended in a statement. It’s a “deadly” journey, he stressed.
More than a dozen caravans have departed from Honduras since October 2018, but have collided with the wall and deployments of thousands of border and military guards ordered by President Trump on the southern border with Mexico.
Guatemala, Mexico and Honduras signed an agreement with the Trump administration known as the “third safe country”, in which they pledge to work with the United States to stop migratory flows from the south of the continent.
