Troubled Honduras

by

It takes some effort to get the governments of Nicaragua, Venezuela and the United States all on the same page, but perpetrators of the June 28 coup in Honduras managed to accomplish just that. Their forcible removal of Honduran President Manuel Zelaya has drawn condemnations from every nation in the Organization of American States, and scorn from the people of Honduras.

The self anointed interim leader of Honduras, Roberto Micheletti, wants to stay in charge through national elections scheduled for November. But since the Micheletti regime has shown no respect for the will of the people, there’s no reason for Hondurans to accept the legitimacy of any upcoming election staged by his followers. President Zelaya should be immediately re-instated as president and allowed to serve out his term.

Costa Rican President Oscar Arias has attempted to broker a power sharing agreement, to no avail. A protracted confrontation between political groups in Honduras will scare away investors and hurt regional economies.
