| 2009-10-24 |
| TEGUCIGALPA, Oct. 23 (Xinhua) -- The negotiator of ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya, Mayra Mejia said on Friday that the dialogue with the de facto government to solve the political crisis in the country was exhausted. Mejia said this on Friday, after the deadline set by Zelaya expired on Thursday. "We consider the dialogue exhausted; we can not continue giving deadlines," Mejia told local media on Friday. However, despite this, the de facto government also made a new proposal on Friday "urging not to break the dialogue." Negotiator of the de facto government Vilma Morales told a press conference that "President Roberto Micheletti will leave the presidency of the republic if Mr Manuel Zelaya gives up on his pretensions, to give place to a government of national transition and reconciliation." "We will be waiting for the dialogue with the considerations that our proposal could have, to reach a satisfactory solution, so much wanted by our Honduran nation," Morales added. Zelaya told local radio station Radio Globo that "all the countries, including the U.S., have been strong in their positions, all the countries have given the reason to my government and position, and they have supported me." The dialogue began on Oct. 7 and both commissions agreed seven of the eight points to be discussed, including the establishment of a government of reconciliation, a policy of amnesty and the advance of the elections. The point without agreement is the restitution of power for Zelaya, who was ousted on June 28 and taken by force to Costa Ricain a coup. |

| #3 I think Zelaya needs to have a "confrontation" - one that results in a large hole appearing in his forehead. That would put an end to the entire matter, once and for all. It's too bad "President" O'Bumble is on the wrong side in this foreign policy issue(and many others). |
