: Crisis Resurfaces In Honduras As Zelaya Boycotts New Unity Government (RTTNews) - A spokesman for Honduras' ousted President Manuel Zelaya says a deal to resolve the political crisis in the Central American country has failed after the de facto government of Roberto Micheletti resigned to form a new cabinet without the participation of the ousted president. Micheletti said after an emergency Cabinet meeting Thursday night that all ministers resigned in compliance with a deal agreed by the rival sides last week. US-brokered power-sharing deal set a deadline of midnight Thursday for implementing it and reinstating Zelaya. Micheletti said Zelaya declined to name his nominees for the unity government and insists he is to lead it. Zelaya had warned Thursday that he would withdraw from the deal unless Congress held a vote on his restoration to power. But Micheletti and his men do not consider the Congressional vote to be an essential part of the agreement. The political stalemate in Honduras has taken a new turn with Zelaya's statement that the unity deal had failed and that he would not recognize the results of the presidential elections scheduled for November 29. The United States, the European Union and most of the Latin American leaders had demanded that Zelaya be allowed to complete his presidential term that expires in January. They set a condition that the presidential election will not be recognized unless democracy was restored as soon as possible. Zelaya was exiled following a coup on June 28, the date of the referendum on constitutional reforms he initiated to remove the current one-term limit on serving as president and pave the way for his re-election. Zelaya, who hails from the country's middle class, secretly returned to the Honduran capital on September 21 and has since been holed up in the Brazilian embassy in Tegucigalpa, taking the de facto regime by surprise and prompting Micheletti to declare a curfew. Under pressure from senior US officials who traveled to Honduras last week for a last-ditch effort to end the crisis, both sides agreed to a power-sharing deal last Friday. |
