QUITO, June 28 (Reuters) - Ecuador said it will not recognize any new government in Honduras after a military coup against President Manuel Zelaya.

Ecuador "will not recognize any government that is not that of President Manuel Zelaya," the foreign ministry said. (Reporting by Alonso Soto; Editing by Chris Wilson)


Are all the Central and South American nations that are speaking out tight with Honduras?

I've noticed a pattern going on in South America. All the socialist and communist are saying this is bull and this and that. When the guy clearly broke the law.

Funny how the same very people that say we should uphold the law, but only if it agrees with their agenda.

The Ambassador of Honduras to the Organization of American States (OAS), Carlos Sosa said this Friday that his country needs a quick answer from the Inter-American system, aimed at guaranteeing the democratic institutionality in the Central American country.

During his participation in the extraordinary session of the OAS, taking place in the headquarter of the Organization in Washington, United States, addressed to deal with the Honduras' issue, Sosa stated that “it is time to use our democratic charter not to make comments on it, but to put it into practice.”

Thus, he appealed for the article 17 of the Charter, which reads: “When the government of a member state considers that its democratic political institutional process or its legitimate exercise of power is at risk, it may request assistance from the Secretary General or the Permanent Council for the strengthening and preservation of its democratic system.”

San Jose - Flanked by the Costa Rican president and less than a day after he was ousted from his own country by a military coup, Honduran President Manuel Zelaya said he plans to attend a regional leadership summit in Managua on Monday. Speaking in Costa Rica, to where he was exiled after the Sunday morning coup, Zelaya said he continues to serve as the legitimate president of Honduras. He called on the people of Honduras to engage in peaceful resistance to the coup.

"The Honduran people will never accept this illegal regime," he said.

Costa Rican President Oscar Arias was at his side. According to reports, Zelaya showed up at Arias' door Sunday morning in his pyjamas after the ouster by the Honduran military.

Word from inside Honduras is that Congress has read, and accepted, the President's letter of resignation. Did they need to do this though? Everyone knows the letter is fake, so how does this help those who are taking charge?

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras — Honduran Congress votes to accept what it claims is President Manuel Zelaya's resignation.


I have also heard that this letter has Zalaye's signature. I understand what they did to remove him, but I really don't understand this move. How is forging a letter and signature legal? I know they want to swear in Micheletti, but is this the only way to do it?

www.dailykos.com...:-Leaders-of-Honduran-coup-trained-at-U.S.-military-school
According to the watchdog group School of Americas Watch, Gen. Vasquez trained at the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation at least twice -- in 1976 and 1984 -- when it was still called School of Americas.

The Georgia-based U.S. military school is infamous for training over 60,000 Latin American soldiers, including infamous dictators, "death squad" leaders and others charged with torture and other human rights abuses. SOA Watch's annual protest to shut down the Fort Benning training site draws thousands.

According to SOA Watch, the U.S. Army school has a particularly checkered record in Honduras, with over 50 graduates who have been intimately involved in human rights abuses. In 1975, SOA Graduate General Juan Melgar Castro became the military dictator of Honduras. From 1980-1982 the dictatorial Honduran regime was headed by yet another SOA graduate, Policarpo Paz Garcia, who intensified repression and murder by Battalion 3-16, one of the most feared death squads in all of Latin America (founded by Honduran SOA graduates with the help of Argentine SOA graduates).

Just so they don't feel out, it's Bolivia

La Paz, Jun 28 (PL) Bolivian President Evo Morales condemned on Sunday the kidnapped of his Honduran peer Manuel Zelaya by military officers.

"What is happening in Honduras due to the actions of military groups only contributes to discredit Armed Forces in countries in Latin America, which participate in their people's decision, said Morales.
