Agreed

I suppose not

Indeed

Gotcha

I suppose that too warrants an explanation.

I didn't know that. I figured linking to the tweet that posted it would be fine.

How could I explain a term in the headline?

You mentioned the talks in the previous sentence. Remove “discussed in the talks” and instead say ‘discussed projects’ or ‘projects that were discussed’.

[…] as we now have many more news sources we didn’t yet know about.

Don’t explain yourself to your readers. Remove this part.

That hyphen looks out of place.

The Honduran Supreme Court still needs to publish an explanatory addendum on the passed law to explain how (existing) ZEDEs will be dealt with after this ruling.

Related to #700:

ZEDEs are SEZs in Honduras.

What are SEZs?

I now see that the newsletter links to an explanation further down:

ZEDEs are SEZs in Honduras.

But that’s too late. May have already lost readers at that point.

Not a lawyer but reproducing the entire letter from Próspera Zede is presumably a violation of their copyright.
