Generals Who Led Honduras Military Coup Trained at the School of the Americas
The ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya is expected to meet with US diplomats in Washington today before attempting to return to Honduras Thursday, five days after being deposed by a military coup. Meanwhile the streets in Honduras remain tense and the crackdown on the media has reportedly not been lifted. We go to Honduras to speak with human rights activist, Dr. Juan Almendares.

“No one outside this country has been checking the facts and have blasted not only the decision of the congress and the supreme court but have sided with someone who ran rough shod over the constitution. He convicted himself by his actions. While unfortunate he was run off to another country, the country has been a peace within because of the decision made by the Military. His return will cause untold problems.” – Tripletango, La Ceiba
How is it a coup, when the constitution explicitly has term limits which he was attempting to violate? And even if it was, does that mean the USA should go try to fix some supposed problem? The USA has been responsible for the worst atrocities in Latin American politics, so no matter what it should stay in its own business.
The problem is that economic interests of this exist back.
Dude, that’s what you have in vision because that’s what you goberment said to you. My first pair of shoes when I was 7 years old, my first watch when I was 14, my first bike when I was 16 and graduate as teacher, my first car when I move to US with residence and I got my first job, my first computer when I became a contractor. You don’t know shit about Honduras, I DO
Zelaya’s removal is by no means a military initiative, they have not taken control, they were acting under orders from a Honduran court with jurisdiction over government administrative affairs. The Honduran Congress unanimously voted to remove Zelaya from power as a result of his defiance of prior court orders, for violations of key articles in the Constitution. The Congress then named the next official in the line of succession to occupy the presidency and finish the current term of office.
The current leaders of your country are being disrespected by many Americans and Europeans including Oobonga and other supporters of socialism.
Neda Solitan, where’s Obonga on that violence? Bet he’s scared of the Iranians.
Try looking at Websters Coup “violent overthrow or alteration of an existing government by a small group.”
The Honduran Congress is still governing as is the supreme court which ordered the socialist dope dealers removal from office. The military carried out the order and no one died.
What you are doing is regurgitating media spin, just keep using the words “democratically elected” and “military coup”
Who says only 90% of Hondurans support president Zelaya? did you pull the numbers out of your ass? or maybe its the Mitofsky opinion poll conducted in June 2009? let me remind you that the majority of Hondurans are poor rural and shanty towns dwellers and they dont have such “luxury” like you do such as access to TV, mail, Internet etc. If you ask among the tiny middle and upper class of course you will get those poll figures. That does not reflects the truth.
You apparently don’t understand English. The supreme court didn’t impeach him. They ordered a coup d’etat. The article’s title is ” Honduras supreme court ‘ordered army coup’ ” No where in the article did it state that the congress voted to impeach the president.
One of your major problems is your immense stupidity. You’re functionally retarded.
FightingFaggot, your problem is you read the american media too much, try this
“Today’s events originate from a court order by a competent judge. The armed forces, in charge of supporting the constitution, acted to defend the state of law and have been forced to apply legal dispositions against those who have expressed themselves publicly and acted against the dispositions of the basic law,” the country’s highest court said.” From the Telegraph UK
Replaced by a member of his own party.
The reality is that most 90% reject Zelaya a corrupt president who has violated the moral principles and our Constitution.
By asking world to respect our decisions, in Honduras there have been no coup, which was a transition there was a constitutional president.
Not interfere with the affairs of Honduras
You’re too stupid to understand the difference between “democratically elected president” and “dictator.”
Perhaps with repition you’ll understand.
He wasn’t impeached by the supreme court.
FightingFag, their supreme court did impeach him and remove him from office and ordered the military to carry out the order of the court just like when the Illinois State police dumped Blago’s junk on the lawn of the governor’s mansion after he was removed from office.
Just keep saying “democratically elected president” over and over again, it will make you feel much better.
Impeachment is how you removed an elected offical, not a military ordered kidnapping.
You don’t know what “dictator” means. There is a difference betweening “acting like a dictator” and being a dictator.
You’re stupidity knows no limits. You’re so stupid and ignorant. You must have failed out of school.
By the way fightingFag he was removed from office by the Honduran Supreme Court and its congress.
Too bad.
FightingFag, Is Daley a dictator? he sure as hell acts like one. You are a real idiot for even suggesting that Dictaster Daley is not a dictator.
You have a completly corrupt police department that robs, plants drugs on and files false charges against innocent citizens, you have a completly corrupt court system that condones all of this and makesexcuses for it matched up with a county administration that is equally corrupt.
To understand that Zelaya was trying to change the rules of elections in Honduras, so that he could be president longer than he is allowed, is to understand them ousting him. They did not want to be like other countries where it becomes impossible to truly elect a president. Let this ride until it is time for the elections and let Honduras elect their president. Zelaya is not allowed to run anymore, he is finished any way. Leave him where he is until after the elections. One-
An elected president is NOT a dictator. Dictators are NOT elected. This is regardless of how many times the person gets re-elected. In Chicago, Mayor Daley gets re-elected all the time. Is he automatically a dictator?
the ELITE don’t want Zelaya. The RICH don’t want Zelaya and your brainwashed belief that this is communism, when a president wants to even the playing field for so many of honduras poor, is ridiculous.
False. I am a Honduran civilian and I support the new government. Zelaya has attempted to become a dictator like Chavez by changing the constitution. The supreme court ordered the army based on the law to take Zelaya out. Now there’s a civilian as president from the same party. WE DON’T WANT ZELAYA BACK! I’m from Honduras. We ask for support. WE HATE COMMUNISM.
