Deal to Restore Zelaya to Power in Honduras Collapses
-----------------------------------------------------



In Honduras, an American-mediated accord to end the four-month political
crisis appears to be in shambles just a week after it was signed. On
Friday, ousted President Manuel Zelaya declared the deal was over.
Meanwhile, Roberto Micheletti, the head of the coup government, said he
would install a national unity government without the participation of
Zelaya. Supporters of Zelaya accused the coup government of killing the
power-sharing agreement.

Arturo Reina, delegate for Honduran President Manuel Zelaya: “We don’t
think the de facto government ever had good faith intentions, just the
desire to prolong its stay despite the Honduran people’s will.”
