The country’s former president, Manuel Zelaya, outsted in semi-legal manner this summer, decided to return home, and not just by dipping a toe across the border.
He’s in the capital, Tegucigalpa, holed up at the Brazilian embassy.
First thought: This was not spontaneous, and why Brazil backed this hare-brained idea, I have no clue. Brazilian Foreign Minister Celso Amorin said neither his country nor the OAS had any role in Zelaya's journey before taking him in. Yeah, right.
Maybe officially, Brazil didn’t, but there’s plausible deniability factors built into this situation. Like, the difference between “role” and “knowledge.”
