Honduran President Zelaya surrounded by troops

In a further twist to the political crisis in Honduras, ousted President Zelaya now finds himself barricaded in the Brazilian embassy without lights, telephone or water. Under the orders of interim President Roberto Micheletti, armed troops have also surrounded the building. After three months in exile, Zelaya made a surpise return to Honduras earlier this week. Meanwhile, Micheletti has expressed a willingness to negotiate, on the condition that Zelaya first recognises Presidential elections scheduled for this November. The international community has largely condemned the coup, which Micheletti calls a ‘constitutional succession’. Full story and features on the BBC website.
