Coup In Honduras

It appears there has been a coup in Honduras and a new president has been sworn in. The details are still a bit sketchy, but the old president was exiled by the military to Costa Rica this morning. The news reports say that the president resigned, but (former?) President Manuel Zelaya denies this. There were early reports of demonstrations, but things seem to be calm right now.

The administration has condemned the coup, despite the ties of the previous government with Venezuela.

By Sunday night, officials in Washington said they had spoken with Mr. Zelaya and were working for his return to power in Honduras, despite relations with Mr. Zelaya that had recently turned colder because of the inclusion of Honduras in the Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas, or ALBA, a leftist political alliance led by Venezuela.

If anyone has any information about what’s happening in Honduras, post it in this thread.
