Honduras Refuses OAS Order to Reinstate Prez Zelaya

'Now the OAS has to decide what it will do' says supreme court leader

Share

(AP) – Honduras' Supreme Court today rejected an ultimatum to restore ousted President Manuel Zelaya to power. Court spokesman Danilo Izaguirre says the head of the Organization of American States asked the president of the court to reinstate Zelaya, but he said no. Izaguirre said today: "Now the OAS has to decide what it will do."

The OAS has said it will suspend Honduras tomorrow unless Zelaya is reinstated. Zelaya was seized by the military Sunday and flown into exile.

You know, if the Honduras' Supreme Court is saying no, we have no reason whatsoever to involve our country with another internal issues, our troops are spread thin as it is now. Let them settle their own affairs Reply

Perhaps they are as tired of "Outside" people telling them how to live as I am out Gov getting involved in everything like this that comes along. Fix us first and then help others, till then stay in our own back yard. If that makes me an isolationist then so be it, I rather think it makes me a realist myself. Reply

I respect and applaud them for doing this bloodlessly so far. Reply

Manuel Zelaya has been warned - stay out of Honduras. I'm concerned that if the Honduran gov't allows him to land in Honduras and does not arrest him immediately that he might be assassinated - then that'll be known as a Bloody Coup (and I would have no pity for the fool). Reply
