[Aljazeera] Thousands of Hondurans wait on Mexico's border, hoping to find respite from poverty and political violence.
Guatemala City and Tecun Uman - Noemi Banegas and her family spent the night on the border bridge that served as a pathway between Guatemala and Mexico.
After a 1,200km journey from their home in southern Honduras, they were among the hundreds of Central Americans waiting their turn to enter Mexican immigration. "This is the first time we are making this journey," Banegas told Al Jazeera on the pavement of the Mexican end of the bridge spanning the Suchiate River.
Banegas, her husband and their two children, aged three and seven, fled Honduras last Monday with hundreds of other Honduran migrants and refugees. |
