BBC News – US Peace Corps cuts Honduras role amid security fears

BBC News – US Peace Corps cuts Honduras role amid security fears: “The Peace Corps said its current volunteers in Honduras were safe but would be brought back home in January.

“The safety and security of all Peace Corps volunteers is the agency’s highest priority,” Peace Corps Director Aaron S Williams said in a statement.

“During this time, we are going to conduct a full review of the programme.”

The Peace Corps has not mentioned any specific threats but Honduras suffers the world’s highest murder rate – 82 killings per 100,000 people a year.”
