Fernandez will put forth the positions of the Central American
Integration System, the Rio Group and the Organization of American
States (OAS) on the situation of Honduras. Manuel Zelaya announced that
he will not attend the Egypt Summit due to responsibilities he has to
meet in Latin America.

The Honduran head of state slashed out against the de facto rulers in
his country for their argument that what they carried out was not a
military coup but a thrust of democracy.

presidency. Zelaya added that his country had overcome similar
situations in the past and his people can do the same this time; “it is
a challenge, but we are not afraid to face it,” he said.
