• Postcards from the Revolution: DAY 7: COUP GOVERNMENT IN HONDURAS WITHDRAWS FROM OAS: OAS doesn't need to bother suspending Honduras from the OAS because the coup government has decided it is withdrawing from the most important regional body in the Americas. Roberto Micheletti, the dictator who was sworn in as de facto president in Honduras, after the democratically elected president Manuel Zelaya was kidnapped at gunpoint by masked soldiers and forced into exile, has said, "to hell with you OAS", "we don't need you either!" During Secretary General of the OAS, Jose Miguel Insulza's visit to the Central American nation to hand deliver the 72-hour ultimatum demanding the coup step down or face suspension, coup leader Micheletti gave a speech issued a formal statement withdrawing Honduras from the OAS, declaring, "we don't have to respond to anybody, we are a sovereign nation". The OAS visit was intended to reach some kind of dialogue or solution to the crisis in Honduras since the coup occurred, yet the coup government held tight to its position of power.
• Honduras refuses to restore president; snubs OAS, 2nd Ld-Writethru, LT: Honduras' refusal to restore ousted Zelaya despite an appeal by the top envoy for the Americas has put the impoverished nation on a collision course with the world community that could lead to its isolation Honduras said it would no longer recognize the OAS charter, claiming the diplomatic body attempted to impose "unilater al and indignant resolutions&qu ot; on the new government, which took power a week ago in a military-backe d coup and forced Zelaya into exile. OAS chief Jose Miguel Insulza had demanded Zelaya be restored to office, and on Saturday the organization was to discuss suspending the Central American nation's membership. Micheletti, said "the OAS is a political organization, not a court, and it can't judge us," according to Insulza on Honduras' TV The move means Honduras, one of the poorest countries in the Americas, will leave the OAS and will not face sanctions by the organization, though it would not prevent other groups and countries from suspending aid and loans.

• US treads careful path on Honduras. US President Barack Obama has called the removal of Honduran president Manuel Zelaya on Sunday a "coup".: So while Washington 9;s reaction has been strong and swift, when it comes to statements, its actions have so far been measured. This is a signal that Washington is not keen to use its clout to help Mr Zelaya return to power, shying away from any action that could be seen as interventionis m in a region where the US has a long, complex history. The reaction is also in line with the promise President Obama made to Latin America at the Organization of American States summit in April, not to dictate US policy on the continent anymore but to be an equal partner.
