TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras – After about two weeks of riots and demonstration, for and against Honduras' interim government.
President Roberto Micheletti finally lifted the curfew that he imposed since the coup d'etat against ousted President Manuel Zelaya.
Perhaps an effort to restore peace and order and to win the confidence of the people. The administration announced that the
curfew that lasted two weeks and kept civilians inside their homes from 11 p.m. to 4:30 a.m. has been lifted.
Since the military takeover put Micheletti in power, pro and anti-government groups flooded the streets. Hence the international community also condemned and isolated the present administration.
Moreover, Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez even quoted saying that Zelaya is the legitimate president of Honduras.
Chavez further said that Micheletti was behind the detention of Venezuela's ABN state news agency journalists that were held captive Saturday and later released after brief talks between the two countries.
Other countries that includes the United States, France, Spain, Italy, Chile and Colombia also expressed their dismay with regards to the administration of Micheletti.
