Six Years After Coup, Hondurans March In Support Of Deposed President:
In the Honduran capital of Tegucigalpa on Sunday, protestors from opposing camps held marches to commemorate the six-year anniversary of a coup which knocked former leftist president Manuel Zelaya from power in 2009.
According to El Nuevo Herald, some two thousand members of the National Popular Resistance Front (FNRP) – a grassroots movement-turned-political party which formed amid the post-coup shambles – confronted some five thousand people convened by the ruling conservative National Party (PN) near the presidential palace.
