Zelaya Agrees to Leave
Honduras This Week
TEGUCIGALPA - Ousted Honduran president
Manuel Zelaya has accepted a deal to go to
the Dominican Republic this week when his
four-year term ends and his predecessor is
sworn in, his top political adviser said.
Zelaya said that he will return "when there
is a process of reconciliation".
The ousted president said he can leave as an
ordinary citizen on the 27th, leaving the
Brazilian embassy where he has been in
refuge since last September when he returned
to Honduras.
On January 27, Porfirio Lobo takes office as
the next Honduran president after winning
the November 29 elections in that country.
Except for the United States, most of the
other nations refuse to recognize the
November elections as legitimate because the
balloting took place under the regime of the
puchistas, coup d'etat government.
Costa Rican president, Oscar Arias, is one
Isthmus president who said he would not
attend the Lobo swearing in ceremony on the
27th. |
