A new president has been sworn into office in Honduras, hours after the ousting of President Manuel Zelaya.

Congress speaker Roberto Micheletti will serve as interim president until polls are held, Congress said.

The removal of Mr Zelaya by the army came amid a power struggle over his plans for constitutional change.


At least they did not murder or place him in a rat infested prison, who ever was behind this certainly behaved in a human and sensible way.  Even though it may not of been the people choice, but Zelaya was trying to change the law and the rules so he could have an extention of 4 years.

Zelaya met yesterday with leaders of other Central American countries.  They do not recognize the newly appointed President and have asked that Zelaya be restored to power.
