Military in Honduras Backs Plan on Zelaya

WASHINGTON ? The Honduran armed forces issued a communiqu? on
Saturday indicating that they would not stand in the way of an
agreement to return Manuel Zelaya, the country?s ousted president, to
power.
Meanwhile, in Las Manos, a town along the border between Nicaragua
and Honduras, Mr. Zelaya made his second symbolic appearance in two
days, defying calls from foreign leaders to avoid any moves that
might provoke violence in his politically polarized country.
The communiqu? was drafted in Washington after days of talks between
mid-level Honduran officers and American Congressional aides. Posted
on the Honduran Armed Forces Web site, it endorsed the so-called San
Jos? Accord that was forged in Costa Rica by delegates representing
President Zelaya and the man who heads the de facto Honduran
government, Roberto Micheletti.
The accord, supported by most governments in the hemisphere, would
allow Mr. Zelaya to return as president, although with significantly
limited executive powers. Mr. Micheletti has steadfastly rejected Mr.
Zelaya?s return as president.
In its communiqu?, the Honduran military added its support to the
proposal. Officials involved said it was meant to dispel any
perceptions that the military would block civilian efforts to resolve
the crisis.
The officials said the military communiqu? was significant because it
was the first sign of support for the San Jos? Accord by a powerful
sector of the de facto government. And the officials said it could
make it more difficult for the Honduran Congress and Supreme Court to
reject the accord when they consider it.
American officials who met here with the Hondurans said that they
were two colonels who were concerned about the tensions generated by
the political conflict.
Joy Olson, executive director of the Washington Office on Latin
America, a nonprofit human rights group, said she was told that the
officers were showing Congressional aides a recording of the day Mr.
Zelaya was detained, as evidence that no abuses had been committed
against him.
In the meantime, however, thousands of troops had been deployed to
tighten security along the border to prevent Mr. Zelaya from
returning. And thousands of his supporters defied government curfews
and military roadblocks, by abandoning their cars and hiking for
hours to reach the remote border post to see him.
Mr. Zelaya vowed to try a third time to re-enter Honduras. "We are
ready to take this to its final consequences," he told his
supporters. "We are not afraid.?
