Hunduran Talks Bog Down

Zeleya, Chavez and others have been claiming his return was coming for the past couple days now, whether that was bluff or they were serious is a good question. As it stands Zeleya wants power back, but the Honduran government is refusing to allow him the presidency. Zeleya brought this on himself and his previous fly over in Honduras managed to get some people hurt but accomplished little else.

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica (Reuters) - Prospects for a breakthrough in Honduras' political crisis looked dim on Sunday, with negotiators for deposed President Manuel Zelaya and coup leaders divided over his proposed reinstatement.

After nearly 10 hours of closed-door meetings on Saturday at the residence of Costa Rican President and mediator Oscar Arias, negotiators appeared no closer to an agreement. Talks were to continue on Sunday.

Envoys sent by Zelaya, a leftist ousted in a June 28 military coup, and interim leader Roberto Micheletti said the main stumbling block was Arias' proposal that Zelaya return to power and form a government that shared power with his rivals.

"At the moment there is no agreement on the points that are on the table," said Carlos Lopez, representing Micheletti, at the end of Saturday's talks.

The army toppled Zelaya and sent him on a plane out of the country last month on orders from the Supreme Court. Critics accused Zelaya of violating Honduras' constitution for seeking to extend presidential term limits.

How he plans on slipping in is a mystery. He could cross the border from Nicaragua, fly in from Venezuela, anything. Of course the government has threatened to arrest him as soon they catch him meaning his return could spark Civil War.
