The ousted president Manuel Zelaya is flying from Washington DC to Tegucigalpa, the Honduran capital accompanied by a former Sandinista, the priest Miguel D’Escoto Brockmann, now president of the UN General Assembly.
A second aircraft carrying Cristina Fernandez, Rafael Correa and Fernando Lugo, the presidents of Argentina, Ecuador and Paraguay respectively, was due to fly to nearby El Salvador to monitor Zelaya’s return.
All these friends of Mr. Zelaya decided in the last minute not to board his plane.
Well, these are two airplanes to nowhere, with politicians that many people in Honduras don’t want to travel with.
What a troop!
Watch here an AA risky landing in Tegucigalpa airport.
In a review of the Guide to Sleeping in Airports, a contributor says:
“I would rather have been in a prison in Istanbul than Tegucigalpa’s Airport”
UPDATE:Thomson Reuters reports that the airplane of Mr. Zelaya will head also to El Salvador, as the Honduran airport is now closed.
