Your support is crucial…The Guardian:
Talks to resolve the political crisis in Honduras have collapsed over the de facto government’s refusal to reinstate the ousted president, Manuel Zelaya.
Envoys for the leftist leader declared the negotiations a failure after yesterday’s deadline passed with no agreement on returning him to power.
“As of now we see this phase as finished,” Mayra Mejia told reporters in the capital, Tegucigalpa. “The fundamental point is the reinstatement of President Zelaya and for this, there was no political will.”
With an uncertain future and a new administration casting doubt on press freedoms, the danger is clear: The truth is at risk.
