Yesterday, burst into the Garifuna community of Triunfo de la Cruz, Antonio Fuentes Deputy, together with items assigned to the Directorate General of Criminal Investigations (DGIC), Prosecutor and staff of the National Agrarian Institute (INA) accusing members of the community  usurpation of  land, the deputy apparently obtained fraudulently.

Mr. Fuentes a few months ago without warning sent heavy equipment to the community, to effect a filler in a land that forms part of the belt of wetlands of Triunfo, which has led to flooding situation affecting local residents.

Once again the community of Triunfo de la Cruz is under pressure from politicians , who have been hogging the communal land, in contravention of the provisions incorporated in the Community Title and imposing through judicial officials on their plans with Garifuna people.

The community of Triunfo is a theater of war economic interests, where the country's power elite, has taken over much of the territory triunfeño, with the support of the Municipality of Tela and the complicity of supposed leaders of the community who are servants of the economic interests of the small group involved in tourist projects in Tela Bay, and were sold to the vaporous promise a 7% stake Micos Lagoon Project & Beach Resort, which was never explained most vividly the Garifuna people that is and who the real beneficiaries.

Today the community of Triunfo airs a case before the IACHR # 12,548 on the problems of land and the many legal anomalies promoted against the interests of the Garifuna. You spread the IACHR on April 28, 2006, Precautionary Measures for the community.

It appears that Congressman Fuentes tries to ignore the existence of precautionary measures and their implications for the protection of the interests of the community. Of oblivion passed usurped the land fill, the disaster caused by Tropical Storm Gamma in November 2005, which demonstrated the vulnerability of the community of Triunfo, associated with environmental erosion has been occurring on the north coast of Honduras, considered Tyndal Center for research on global warming, as the second weakest in the world to the consequences of climate change.

OFRANEH sources responsible for any act against the community leaders, who have sold so brave fighting for two decades to defend the territory of Triunfo de la Cruz. Besides the damage that is causing the people who made triunfeño filling in wetlands.

As in La Ceiba, on the 17 th day of November 2009
