Spero: In order to block more than 10 land routes used by drug-trafficking structures to move drugs, the Guatemalan Armed Forces will create a security zone along the border with Belize, Honduras, El Salvador, and Mexico.
The Guatemalan border will be strengthened by Army troops defending it from all four directions in the country’s different border zones. read more
SNIP: Imagine that? Using your own military to guard your own borders. What an idea!
Sounds like the pay offs were short this month.
Back in the day we use to take an annual vacation to Maui. We would arrive the night before the flight out of SFO and stay at The Burlingame Marriots because they had an underground parking structure with guards and valet. We’d catch the shuttle back and forth from the airport. One trip we came back to find our nice new shiny Land Cruiser had been stolen. The cop that was filling out the report told me that our Land Cruiser was probably in a cargo container and on a freighter in less than an hour after hid had been taken. Destination, Belize.
Hmmm, militarize the border to stop poison, terrorists and invaders. Never heard of that idea before…
Guatemalans are very poor. But the ones I’ve met are good people.
Bad Brad ; Wrong body of water for Belize !
What’s interesting about the Border politics of this is, Belizeans are scared of Guatemala…Too much Crime, Drugs and Gangs everywhere !
