4 Oct 2009There doesn’t seem to be an end in sight to the political drama continuing to unfold in Honduras. Ousted President Zelaya remains inside the Brasilian Embassy, accusing the military of using sound weapons against those inside. Coup leader Micheletti has suspended constitutional civil rights while trying to say (like some comments left here) that the ousting of the democratically elected president was constitutional as if he can have it both ways. Meanwhile supporters of Zelaya continue to hit the streets in defiance of the suspension of the right to assembly. I found the report below, via The Mex Files, to offer a really interesting analysis of the situation, including how the coup is impacting some of the most marginalized inside Honduras, the Garifuna, and how this coup could be setting the stage for future coups in Latin America.

Let the people of Honduras resolve what belongs to be resolved by Hondurans. Zelaya is another puppet of Hugo Chavez he hides behind a double face. Is not the people that support Zelaya the most, is the people that DONT WANT HIM BACK.
