The soft reaction to the Ahuas shooting boils down to a contradiction of Hondurans' situation, said Eduardo Gamarra, professor of politics and international relations at Florida International University.
"There is international concern that this is some sort of attempt to end early the term of a democratically elected president, " said Eduardo Gamarra, a Paraguayan political analyst.
According to Gamarra, Uribe's democratic security policy is a success as it managed to restore a state presence in areas once controlled by the guerillas or by Para-military forces.
As political scientist Eduardo Gamarra correctly points out, until Uribe took the reins of the government the drug industry succeeded in surviving like a chameleon, by transforming itself and readjusting.
