[Honduras] Riots: Violent demonstration

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On April 4, 2025, residents in San Pedro Sula, Honduras blocked traffic on the CA-5 highway with tire burning protests demanding government intervention against extortion and land title irregularities in the Los Paraisos area. The demonstration was classified as low severity with police responding to disperse protesters.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. If confirmed and sustained, highway blockages on the CA-5 corridor could disrupt regional cargo movements through Honduras's industrial hub of San Pedro Sula.

Watch points

• Monitor for follow-up protests or expansion of demonstrations to other areas if government response is perceived as inadequate
• Track whether highway blockages persist or recur, potentially affecting commercial traffic flows through the region
