Thanks Eduardo, I never missed being a GV contributor as much as this week. I’ve been terribly caught up in this situation as I have family in Honduras, and friends on both sides of this issue.

why does Obama and Clinton not support the Honduran peoples will to oust a president that seeks to change Honduran law that supports term limets, just as the U.S.A.
The courts and the congress of Honduras called for Zelaya’s removal from office to restore democracy. Is that not what is in America’s, and all peoples best intrest??? What happened to Obamas high regard to the rule of law????

@Aaron

Feel free to links to blogs in this comments section that should have been included when this post was written on Sunday night.

I think “underdog” is a relative term, and perhaps many different sides think *they* are the underdog in this situation.

We’d love to have you return as a contributing author and it would certainly add much more insight.

Eduardo, I’m afraid you’re just repeating what the international media are saying. If you read the blogs from Honduras, you’ll get a much clearer picture.

GVO is supposed to be the voice of the underdog! Where is that now?

Bravo Honduras!

Do not let Obama, Chavez, Ortega or anyone concern you.

Many of us who know what Zelaya (Chavez´s pawn and pupìl) was attempting and we are proud of you and your courage.

Stay free! Stay proud!

Adelante.

I am glad to hear some voices from Hondurans people, and please add more if available.

The voice from outside world is also good, but I can read them from CNN. If you have any voice or opinion which disagree the mainstream media, you are free to add your own.

This is the most unbalanced article about Honduras that I have ever read on Global Voices, which generally just completely ignores Honduras as unimportant to the rest of the globe!

Please do some more research and do not ignore all the other ‘VOICES’! Shame on Global Voices.

This is a legal removal of a president whom is in violation of the Honduran Constitution.

Zelaya’s actions of the past 5 months have been in blantant disregard for the Honduran Constituion, which he sought to rewrite, the Honduran Supreme Court, which he has undermined, the Honduran Congress, which he has tried to delegitimize,the Honduran Military, which he has tried to purge, his own party that has resisted Hug Chavez, and 72% of the Honduran public, that feel disenfranchised by Zelaya. This was not a coup. Zelaya was legally removed by the military at the request of the Honduran Congress and the Honduran Supreme Court that have the following two articles of the Honduran Constitution as the legal authority to do so;

ARTICULO 239.- El ciudadano que haya desempeñado la titularidad del Poder Ejecutivo no podrá ser Presidente o Designado.
El que quebrante esta disposición o proponga su reforma, así como aquellos que lo apoyen directa o indirectamente, cesarán de inmediato en el desempeño de sus respectivos cargos, y quedarán inhabilitados por diez años para el ejercicio de toda función pública.
.
TRANSLATION – Article 239.- The citizen that has been the head of the Execute Branch cannot be President or Vice-President (again).
Whoever violates this law or proposes its reform, as well as those that support such violation directly or indirectly, will immediately cease in their functions and will be unable to hold any public office for a period of 10 years.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ARTICULO 205.- Corresponden al Congreso Nacional las atribuciones siguientes:
…
15. Declarar si ha lugar o no a formación de causa contra el Presidente
20. Aprobar o improbar la conducta administrativa del Poder Ejecutivo, Poder Judicial y ….

Why is Obama now meddling in the internal affairs of a soveriegn nation and why is he siding with Hugo Chavez against the nation of Honduras?
