HONDURAS: No Easter bunnies on Rabbit Island
On 5 April El Salvador's new president-elect, Salvador Sánchez Cerén, met President Juan Orlando Hernández in Tegucigalpa. The visit, part of a regional tour by Sánchez Cerén before taking office on 1 June, comes amid renewed bilateral tensions over Isla Conejo (Rabbit Island), a tiny unpopulated rocky outcrop some 500m away from the Honduran coast in the Gulf of Fonseca, a Pacific coast area jointly administered by Honduras, El Salvador and Nicaragua. Honduras has been occupying the outcrop unchallenged at least since 1992, but El Salvador claims it as its own.
