HONDURAS: Both sides agree on mechanism for a solution
Precisely one month before the scheduled
presidential elections, both sides in the Honduran political crisis reached
agreement, if not on a solution, at least on the mechanism whereby a solution
acceptable to both will be reached. The breakthrough was achieved under
considerable pressure from a visiting top-level US mission led by the outgoing
US Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs, Tom Shannon. The
deal allows not only both Honduran protagonists but also the involved
international actors, to save face.
