A deal appears to have been reached between Mel Zelaya and the coup government of Roberto Micheletti. Secretary of State Clinton called it "an historic agreement" and had this to say from Pakistan (of all places to be brokering a deal on Honduras!):
“I cannot think of another example of a country in Latin America that, having suffered a rupture of its democratic and constitutional order, overcame such a crisis through negotiation and dialogue.”
The Honduran Congress must essentially ratify this deal in order to return Zelaya to power ahead of the November 29 election. And if they don't? Well, we'll cross that bridge when we get there. In turn, I imagine the world is ready to accept the legitmacy of the pending election and drop the sanctions imposed since Zelaya was expelled from the country in June.
