The announcement that the ousted president of Honduras, Manuel Zelaya, would be returned to power in a power-sharing agreement seems to have come too soon. In this video from The Real News, we learn that the agreement seems to be doing more to legitimize the coup government than to get rid of it. Citizen activists' end goal is not only restoration of the democratically-elected president but also a constituent assembly to rewrite a constitution that largely favors those with wealth and power, and they are still fighting despite pressure from outside and restrictions from Micheletti's coup regime.

Al Giordano of Narco News analyzes the options for the Honduran people months after the coup that toppled President Manuel Zelaya. He has little hope for any major change in the situation in the country before the scheduled elections November 29. Zelaya cannot run for reelection due to constitutional term limits, but Giordano suggests, in this video from The Real News, that the popular resistance could take matters into its own hands and hold the referendum that was scheduled to take place before Zelaya's removal, whether the coup regime likes it or not.

Andres Conteris of Nonviolence International and Democracy Now en espa?ol is the only English-speaking media representative inside the Brazilian embassy with deposed Honduran President Manuel Zelaya, and he thinks that the U.S. could be doing much more to ensure that democracy prevails in the Central American country. Though the administration has called for the reinstatement of Zelaya, it has not put actual pressure to bear, and Conteris urges GRITtv viewers to call their representatives in Congress and urge sanctions against the coup regime.
