  Most of the Honduran people have not grasped the concept of the rule of law and a civilian government.

  Saying that, Most of the people in Honduran government are of the upper class power structure and want to stay in power at all cost hence the COUP !

  Just read that teachers in Honduras have been on strike since the Monday after the coup and are still out, despite great pressure from Michiletti.

  "Other sectors of Honduran society continue to mobilize for the return of President Zelaya. El Heraldo reports that movement leaders have announced that highways and bridges all over the country will be blocked until Zelaya returns to Honduras as its president. While highway blockades have occurred throughout the coup, an increased focus on blockades could represent a more sustainable strategy for nation-wide mobilization. Up until now, Zelaya supporters' tactics have focused on mass mobilizations and mega-marches in Tegucigalpa. Highway and bridge blockades, particularly on the northern coast, could strike a significant blow to Honduras' economy while allowing Zelaya supporters to mobilize in support of the president from their towns and communities, rather than leaving their jobs and homes to travel to Tegucigalpa to participate in actions there."

  This blog has been covering situation since coup and has moved, as far as I can tell, from being agnostic as to whether Zelaya had done something wrong to supporting his right to remain in office.
