Deposed President Manuel Zelaya called on the Honduran regime to restore civil liberties and withdraw soldiers surrounding his Brazilian embassy refuge as a precondition for talks aimed at solving the political crisis.
Representatives of Zelaya and the military-supported interim Honduran regime agreed to restart talks this week, without setting a date, that would restore democracy after soldiers ousted the president at gunpoint on June 28 and kicked him out of the country in his pyjamas.
Zelaya's surprise return on September 21 to the Brazilian embassy in Tegucigalpa triggered a new wave of protests and a clampdown on civil rights, but also boosted efforts to break the deadlock.
The interim government led by Roberto Micheletti, which has surrounded the embassy with soldiers and riot police, wants to arrest Zelaya on charges that include treason and corruption.
Ninety percent of the issues holding up negotiations "have been resolved," Zelaya told AFP in a telephone interview from inside the Brazilian embassy.
But if the remaining 10 percent "is an obstacle, then one has to trust the ... international community to continue pressuring" the regime.

The news we are getting here.
I wish they could turn off his phone permanently without cutting the power.
Hopefully, the boy sent his pajamas out to be cleaned.
*snort*
And I think Michelleti told DeMint that he planned to restore civil liberties by tomorrow. So Zelaya is demanding something that was already going to happen.
can they expel him from the country?
This Marxist is gonna win because the legitimate government of Honduras lacks backbone.Give the Brazilians 48 hours to leave the country.Take the Marxist into custody once they’re gone.Escort him to the border with the warning that if he enters the country again he’ll be shot right in the eye.
How he got into his pajamas I'll never know.
Maybe I’m just getting way too cynical in my old age, but...I have to wonder about what’s going behind the scenes in Honduras. It’s crystal clear the current administration is officially backing Zelaya, despite his legal removal from office. I just wonder if there’s not also a little unofficial “astroturfing” going on to aid and abet the pro-Zelaya protests, etc.
BTW, I have plenty of tinfoil to make hats out of - no need for anyone to send me any if you disagree. :-)

OPINION:
Zelaya, you are today’s STUCK ON STUPID award winner.
YOU attempted to violate your own country’s constituion.
YOU were legally removed from the Presidency.
Yet YOU complain.
“...Zelaya called on the Honduran regime to restore civil liberties and withdraw soldiers surrounding his Brazilian embassy refuge as a precondition for talks aimed at solving the political crisis.”
Suggest Micheletti express precisely where he can blow that out of.
“.....Honduran regime agreed to restart talks this week,.....”
Suggest advise Micheletti it isn’t a good idea to restart talks with double-talking, power hungry, insane, Communists. Such “talks” are a waste of time, and only provide a legitimacy to the criminal by providing such an audience.
NO TALKS.
“the military-supported interim Honduran regime”
Shouldn’t that be the Military/Supreme Court/Congress- supported Honduran regime?
I don’t know why this idiot is even still alive, get a couple soldiers, march in there, and pop a cap in his head, problem solved.
Thank you! I guess that solution makes too much sense in this up-side-down world.
This is a ploy right out of Saul Alinsky's playbook, "Rules for Radicals".
Everyone should read this book. I, however found it used, so as not to send any royalties to Alinsky.
He can't use 'em anyway. Gone the way of all flesh.
