Ousted Honduran President Appoints
Ambassadress to Nicaragua
Managua - Ousted Honduran President Manuel
Zelaya appointed in exile a new ambassadress
to Nicaragua, Nicaraguan Foreign Minister
Samuel Santos said on Tuesday.
Santos told reporters that Zelaya's Foreign
Minister Patricia Rodas appointed a new
ambassadress in Managua according to
instructions given by Zelaya, whose
government was toppled in a June 28 coup.
Patricia Rodas was the first minister
replaced by the interim leader Roberto
Micheletti.
Santos did not tell the name of the new
ambassadress, but said the Nicaraguan
government will continue to support Zelaya
and extend its solidarity.
"We are people who host their brothers in
need of international support. We also
respect the decisions of the United Nations
and the Organization of American States,
which only recognize Zelaya as
constitutional president of Honduras,"
Santos added.
Zelaya has returned to Nicaragua after a
trip to Mexico, Brazil, Argentina and
Ecuador and those countries reaffirmed their
support for Zelaya's reinstatement as
Honduras' president.
