Was Chiquita behind the recent coup against Honduran president Manuel Zelaya? More importantly, does the October 29 restoration of the Zelaya government represent a defeat for Chiquita--El pulpo, "the octopus"--a corporation which has done its best to strangle Central American democracy for the past hundred years?

The people of Honduras have bravely and massively resisted the June 28 military coup that removed President Manuel Zelaya. They have carried out huge protests and strikes. The military has responded with brutal repression including tear gas, clubs, and gunfire. They have arrested many people, killed many people, and closed down all independent news media.
