Awaiting news on Zelaya's next move is an amazing exercise. It seems as though the momentum of real democracy lies on the head of a pin governed by the sheer will and determination of one man - whether that's right or not is a matter of opinion. And opinions swing wide. What seems to be missing in this picture is the faces and voices of the impoverished, impacted by the dramatic decline of Honduras's economy because of the political unrest. As governments and humanitarian aid is cut off, those that chronically suffer are impacted even more. And their problems increase. Finding a resolve is paramount towards alleviating additional unwarranted pain and suffering.
And so we wait. We wait to see what the next move is in this volatile environment where thus far, everyone is losing.
Please keep the voice of the marginalized at the forefront of the news.
