The Secretary General of the Organisation of the American States, Mr Miguel Insulza, is heading to the crisis-torn Honduras today, as the organisation seeks the unconditional restoration of the country ousted leader, President Manuel Zelaya.

But according to the OAS chief who yesterday briefed local, regional an international journalists on the organization’s next move in relation to Honduras, at the Guyana International Conference Centre, Liliendaal, the OAS is not going there to negotiate but to press for Zelaya’s restoration.

Prior to speaking with the media, Insulza had also briefed Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community as they met in caucus to prepare for their 30th conference which officially opened last evening.

According to him, the message is clear and unanimously approved that the OAS condemns the military coup, noting that there are other ways in which any internal problems could have been solved; that the organisation will not recognise the interim government headed by Roberto Micheletti; that the OAS will do everything possible to have Zelaya returned and bring the situation in Honduras back to normalcy.

The OAS chief noted too, that as a result of the situation in that country, the caretaker government has until tomorrow to have Zelaya restored or face suspension, adding that the latter can have disastrous consequences for that country, including the blocking of access to international financial aid.

The Honduran administration has so far resisted any moves to have Zelaya, who was ousted in a military coup last Sunday in a dispute over presidential term limits, be returned as the country’s rightful leader.

With the OAS chief at the news conference yesterday was OAS Assistant Secretary General, Albert Ramdin.
