An update from IFCO/Pastors for Peace:
our response to the Honduras "agreement":
This is not a victory; it's a US State Department manipulation!
In our view, the agreement signed today is neither a victory for President Zelaya, nor for the people of Honduras. 
● Any agreement that restores President Zelaya to office without giving him control over the military — the same military that carried out the coup! — is a victory for the coup forces, or an outright trap.
● While the two parties have signed an agreement, the demands of the Honduran people — for a constitutional assembly and the restoration of democracy and constitutional law — have not been addressed. 
● The agreement does not create space for free and fair elections. In fact it directly aligns the coup military with the Supreme Electoral Commission appointed by Micheletti. (This same Supreme Electoral Commission was just invited to Washington, DC last week by right-wing Cuban-American Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL), where they testified to Congress that "nothing has changed" in Honduras since the coup.)

● The agreement has not ended the repression and human rights violations; and it remains to be seen whether repression will intensify in the days to come.
The struggle continues! Today's complicated and convoluted news is not a victory, but a temporary setback. We will be sending more analysis and action alerts as the situation develops; stay tuned!
IFCO/Pastores por la Paz:
Nuestra respuesta al “acuerdo” en Honduras:
Esto no es una victoria; es una manipulación del Departamento de Estado de los EEUU!
Nosotros vemos que el acuerdo firmado hoy no es una victoria para el Presidente Zelaya ni para el pueblo de Honduras. 
· Cualquier acuerdo que restituya al Presidente Zelaya sin darle control sobre los militares, los mismos que hicieron el golpe, es una victoria para las fuerzas golpistas o simplemente es una trampa.
· Aunque ambos lados han firmado este acuerdo, las demandas del pueblo hondureño por una asamblea constituyente y por la restauración del orden constitucional y democrático no han sido tomadas en cuenta.
· El acuerdo no crea un espacio para que se realicen elecciones libres y democráticas. De hecho lo que hace es poner a los militares golpistas bajo el mando del Consejo Electoral Supremo. (Quienes fueron invitados la semana pasada a Washington, DC por la congresista derechista cubano-americana Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL), donde testificaron que “nada había cambiado” en Honduras después del golpe.)

· El acuerdo no ha terminado con la represión y las violaciones de derechos humanos; aun esta por verse si la represión se intensificara en los próximos días.
¡La lucha continua! Las noticias complicadas y confusas de hoy no es una victoria sino un retroceso. Estaremos mandando mas análisis y información en cuanto se desarrolle la situación; manténganse en alerta!
