Recent Violence
The Olancho Department is one of the most violent areas in Honduras. In June 2012, after a DEA agent killed a suspect in Honduras, it was confirmed that the US government has been running covert operations in the Olancho area to combat drug trafficking. Currently, many multinational corporations as well as charitable and religious organizations with personnel in Honduras actively discourage their members from visiting Olancho, as do the governments of the USA, Canada, France, New Zealand and the UK, among others.
