TEGUCIGALPA - The de facto government decreed a 15-hour curfew in Honduras beginning Monday at 4:00 PM.
"Due to events occurring during the last hours, it has been resolved to establish a curfew throughout the entire national territory beginning at 4:00 PM on Monday until 7:00 PM on Tuesday (2200-1300 GMT)", the government said in a statement released on radio and television.
"We ask citizens for their understanding, their patience, and collaboration with this measure which is being taken with the sole purpose of protecting tranquility, life, and people's goods," it added.
Deposed President Manuel Zelaya arrived unexpectedly on Monday and remains in the Brazilian embassy in Tegucigalpa.
Throw the Brazillians out and catch him.
Bingo
Exactly.
Send the Brazilians home and burn the embassy to the ground.
This is because the Chavistas have been filtering into Honduras over the last few weeks and now have regular demonstrations, complete with window-breaking and small explosives, in the streets. As soon as word went out that Zelaya was in the UN building, they all ran over there to stage a “demonstration” and then when it came out that he was in the Brazilian embassy, they headed over there.
Honduras does not want to be provoked into a situation where the military has to use force against these people, because that will be all the excuse the US and other Communist countries will need to invade Honduras. This is a high stakes game and this is a crucial moment.
Your use of "other" was not lost on me, no thanks to Ohbummer.
So, these days, Venezuela is exporting more than oil.
Exactly. He has made us change sides.
