Honduran de-facto government resigns

Tegucigalpa, Honduras - The Honduran de-facto government of Roberto Micheletti has resigned late Thursday, paving the way for a national unity and reconciliation government. After weeks of negotiations Micheletti and ousted President Manuel Zelaya last week agreed on forming a unity government. Talks were brokered by Costa Rican President Oscar Arias. Zelaya was ousted from office and sent into exile on June 28 in a military coup backed by the Honduran Supreme Court and other institutions. He secretly returned to Tegucigalpa on September 21, and has since been holed up in the Brazilian embassy in the Honduran capital. The international community has refused to acknowledge the de facto government as legitimate and has demanded Zelaya's reinstatement. Honduras is set to hold a general election on November 29, which the international community has refused to recognize as legitimate in the current post-coup setting.
