Migrants sent back

-

Guatemala City: Guatemalan authoritie­s have sent more than 3000 Honduran migrants back home over the past few days, dissolving much of a caravan heading north and blaming Honduras for not doing more to block the migrants’ path.

Thousands of caravan members had crossed into Guatemala from Honduras without authorisat­ion last Thursday, pushing past troops at the border.

Since then, 3586 had ‘‘opted to return’’, the Government said.
