Clogged and Un-clogged

Plans to expand and improve Aurora international airport have clogged up now that current President and former city mayor Oscar Berger has told current city mayor and former President (and former political ally) Alvaro Arzú that he lacks the necessary requisitos (paperwork and permissions) to start work on the project. Or was it the other way round?

On the other hand Guatemala's three big mobile phone networks Comcel, PCS y Telefónica will finally permit the passage of SMS messages across their borders. This may mean that we will now be able to communicate with family members via text from the UK.

It was also reported today that 8 Guatemalan UN peacekeepers have been killed in a confrontation with Ugandan rebels in DR Congo.
