“Street surveillance cameras in one of the world’s most dangerous cities were turned off last week because Honduras’ government hasn’t paid millions of dollars it owes. The operator that runs them is now threatening to suspend police radio service as well.

Honduras is also grappling with $5 billion in foreign debt, a figure equivalent to last year’s entire government budget.”
