Your support is crucial…The Guardian:
The interim government of Honduras yesterday appeared to have succumbed to international pressure as it agreed a deal that could pave the way for the return of the country’s deposed president, Manuel Zelaya.
Victor Rico, the secretary of political affairs at the Organisation of American States, said an agreement had been reached to leave an opening for the reinstatement of Zelaya – ousted in a military coup in June – by creating a power-sharing government.
He did not reveal the text of the agreement, but called it “a beneficial accord for Honduras and Honduran democracy”.
With an uncertain future and a new administration casting doubt on press freedoms, the danger is clear: The truth is at risk.
