In 2004, the U.S. government engineered a coup d’etat against the elected president of Haiti, Jean-Bertrand Aristide. Currently foreign troops occupy Haiti, denying the Haitian people their sovereignty. In 2009, Honduran troops with the complicity of the United States, kidnapped and expelled the elected president, Manuel Zelaya. Today there is a coup government in Honduras.
