Gang Stigmata - Honduras
Surge in gang violence sweeping central America To see more go to www.youtube.com Follow us on Facebook (goo.gl or Twitter (www.twitter.com In the Honduran barrios crime carries a permanent stigma - gang members are indelibly tattooed with their histories of violence. Desperate to escape their past, some have begun a painful path to rehabilitation. Gang activity has taken its toll in Honduras, the country recently classified by the UN as the most violent in the world. Around 20 homicides occur every day, totaling almost 7000 a year. In capital city Tegucigalpa, members of the 18 and the MS13 are marked men and women, their violent pasts charted from head to toe across their bodies. For those trying to quit, these markings are an inescapable anchor to gang life. Former "bandida" Sherry explains, "here, for wearing a tattoo, youngsters die on a daily basis. This tattoo could lead me to the grave". There is only one expert in tattoo removal in Honduras, but he has provided hope to thousands trying to escape their past. For Sherry the motivation to break out of the cycle of violence is the fear of passing on a violent legacy to the next generation. "My kids should not have to endure what I have endured." May 2012

Honduras' airport falls short on safety
The international airport in Honduras' capital, Tegucigalpa, ranks as one of the most dangerous in the world. The runway in Tegucigalpa is much shorter than average and is located in the middle of valleys that are tricky for pilots to navigate. Commercial jets are the hardest to land safely, and have accounted for most of the casualties in six fatal crashes since 1989, in which more than 160 people have died. Now, there are plans to build a new airport alongside a longer and safer runway at a military base outside the capital. Al Jazeera's Adam Raney reports from Tegucigalpa in Honduras as part of our special series on Transport and Communities.

Government-backed efforts to resolve a long-running land dispute between poor farmers and wealthy landowners in Honduras have run into trouble.

HONDURAS needs International Intervention
EN ESPAÑOL: youtu.be International Intervention means PRESSURE from any country who holds ties with Honduras or PRESSURE from any International Organizations. (UN, OAS. Amnesties International) I am obviously not powerful enough too get anybody's attention, but maybe someone out there who sees the video is capable of pulling strings. Therefore, the video is not intended to overrule Honduras sovereignty, but create awareness and hopefully change. The more people you share it with the closer we get to someone who is capable of doing something. Ideas are more than welcome!

At least 272 inmates have died in a massive prison fire that tore through a Central Honduras jail Tuesday night. Many more of the 800 held there are missing and unaccounted for.
