Caracas, Venezuela, 4 July 2009. Tonight, the Organization of America States (OAS) consulted its member on the expulsion of Honuduras over the coup against President Zelaya. After 33 member countries voted in favour of the expulsion, Honduras was officially under the application of article 21 of the OAS Democratic Charter. Thus, the tyranny is not allowed to represent State interests but continues to be under the vigilant supervision of regional Human Rights organs. OAS would continue to push for a diplomatic solution to the crisis. US representative at OAS voted for the suspension of Honduras.
Yesterday, OAS General Secretary, Jose Manuel Insulza, travelled to Honduras to certify - in loco- the occurance of a coup against President Zelaya. After meeting various representatives of Honduran society except the Tyranny officials, OAS General Secretary Insulza determined there was a military coup against President Zelaya last Sunday. In response, the Honduran tyranny decided to leave the OAS to no avail as it has not been recognised by any other government. Thus, it remains a fiction and could not legally issue govermental acts with administrative effects.
Demonstrations have taken place acoss the country against or in favour of the newly installed tyranny led by Roberto Micheletti. Represion against pro Zelaya followers has increased over the days following the coup. Journalist Gabriel Ciro Noriega was killed in an ambush after dellivering a TV message against the Honduran tyranny.
During his televised intervention at the OAS, President Zelaya confirmed he would be travelling to Honduras shortly. He called upon Hondurans to resit the tyranny and wait for his arrival. Zelaya would be accompanied by Argentinean, Ecuadorian and Paraguay Presidents. Pro Zelaya Hondurans have been gathering at the Tegucigalpa Airport since Saturday morning. International journalist were able to report that tyranny gunmen were stationed on various roof at the airport and surrounding areas.
Earlier today, Nicaraguan representative at OAS denounce a plot by the Honduran tyranny to kill Micheletti`s followers. Their death would claim over an intelligence operation by Nicaragua, Cuba and Venezuela. A representative of the conservative Catholic Church, Cardinal Óscar Andrés Rodríguez, made a rare TV appearance to justify the coup and prevent the return of President Zelaya.

Luiz the short answer is no, cuba is not a democratic state and this only points to the double standards the OAS and the UN are employing !
Ah once again Rahul Tyranny Tyranny Tyranny if you would allow me, I would be more than happy to buy you a thesaurus they are very cheap through ebay http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=m38&_nkw=thesaurus&_sacat=See-All-Categories! As to the violence in Honduras there will aways be anarchists that use troubled times to mask there bad intentions and I would guess that these people are military from Nicaragua and Venezuela dressed as ordinary citizens as there always are misguided people that live under a dictatorship who have been brain washed into thinking that it's a bad thing to question authority, your government and the people in power and a good thing to force others into believing as you do! As to the gunmen and snipers there is a real and present danger in this country, largely due to your dictator, from the aforementioned anarchists, hence the snipers to protect all people including a leftist like Insulza who is so hipicrictical as to put Cuba in the same boat as Honduras! Just like Micheletti I would not reconize his authority on anything more than wipeing my glutimus maximus!!! Furthermore the company that Zelaya is keeping is the A list of wanna be and/or dictatotrs and supressors of thier own countrymen! If Zelaya had any integrity at all he would return to Honduras by himself and would not need dictorial leaders to stand by his side! As far as Insulza not speaking to the current government officials it just goes to show you that they will only deal with who they want to, when they want to and only believing in thier "truth" which is typical of most dictators!!!! Now let us think about Cardinal Óscar Andrés Rodríguez a man of god telling Zelaya not to return to Honduras...........Hmmmm...........a man of god ..........telling Zelaya not to return........Hmmmm.......my only conclusion would be that even God doesn't want Zelaya in Honduras !!!! Can I get a Amen from the congregation !!!!
