The SOA Watch website (http://www.soaw.org) has been carrying English-language updates that do NOT consist of the same eight statements from the OAS, Chavez, U.S., etc.

Fairly recent update:
"On Wednesday, 1 July 2009, the Honduran Congress announced a suspension of citizens’ rights in Honduras for 24 hours.

Citizens may not organize or otherwise congregate for any reason, and homes may be entered by government forces without permit. The curfew that has been in place since Sunday has been extended for 6 more days.

Supporters of the resistance maintain their commitment to publicly protest the coup and demand the return of President Zelaya and democratic rule.

There is a foreseen escalation in aggression from the government and army against the resistance movement.

Other sources from inside Honduras report that that campesinos and indigenous peoples from rural areas continue marching on foot towards the capital to join the protests in Tegucigalpa, in which tens of thousands of people are already participating."

From Sunday:
"An unknown number of Hondurans have taken to the streets today in an effort to stop the coup that the military, in league with Congress and the Supreme Court, has carried out against democratically elected President Manuel "Mel" Zelaya.

Due to intermitant power outages and heavy rain, independent media within Honduras has had extreme difficulty transmitting news. This means that while there's been plenty of news in the mainstream media about the actions people with a lot of political power have been taking--from Chavez and the ALBA nations to the Organization of American States to the United States--there's been very little reported about what rank-and-file Hondurans have been doing to reverse the coup.

However, it is clear that Hondurans are resisting. People are taking the streets in Honduras despite incredibly hostile conditions created by the military. Radio Es Lo De Menos reports that their colleagues on the ground have been fired at by snipers who are positioned in rooftops around the city. They stress that the gunfire at this point has only been in the form of "warning shots" and no one has been reported injured from gunfire.

The Civic Council of Popular and Indigenous Organizations of Honduras (COPINH) wrote in a communique,"We tell everyone that the Honduran people are carrying out large demonstrations, actions in their communities, in the municipalities; there are occupations of bridges, and a protest in front of the presidential residence, among others. From the lands of Lempira, Morazán and Visitación Padilla, we call on the Honduran people in general to demonstrate in defense of their rights and of real and direct democracy for the people, to the fascists we say that they will NOT silence us, that this cowardly act will turn back on them, with great force."

Radio Es Lo De Menos reported that the military has set up roadblocks all over the country in an attempt to prevent Zelaya supporters from reaching the capital. The soldiers are also reportedly attempting to shut down public transportation.

Photos from around the internet show that Hondurans are in the streets resisting."

Thanks for that link. I have noticed that there aren't too many other independent news sources or people that are acknowledging the protests against the coup.

BBC world news actually has, or had, reporters in Honduras getting statements from random people on the street, who are, in all likelihood, mostly very poor. Here is the link:

I am very concerned about the international community's response to the ousting of Honduran president Zelaya. As a Honduran, I can honestly say I am dismayed and disappointed about the misrepresentation and lack of information that is pandered by mainstream media. People on the internet are claiming that we are losing our democratic values due to the "coup." But it is BECAUSE us Hondurans WANT democracy that we (the majority), AGREE with Zelaya's ousting. I would like to ask the media to PLEASE keep their ethnocentric opinions to themselves and to have some journalistic integrity and research information before they put it out there. I would also like to ask people, even on thsi website, to NOT believe what tehy hear from the media. I wholeheartedly am asking this because if Zelaya gets reinstituted as president, we will end up like Venezuela. Ousting Zelaya is in defense of the democratic values people speak about. HE broke the law, was acting against Congress AND the Constitution. Also,comparing the situation in Honduras to that of Iran is ridiculous and misinformed. Moreover, the situation in Honduras is CALM, the few pics you see of protesters are in fact VENEZUELANS sent by Chavez to stir up trouble. Most marches are in SUPPORT of ousting Zelaya. I am tired of the terrible reporting this has received.

Most of the poor people on Honduras have a limited opinion on politics. I am not trying to be classist, but I am from Honduras and live there half of the year so I know what I am talking about. Poverty in Honduras is so great and is such a vicious cycle that most poor people are just trying to get by. Crime is very high, especially because of narcs and drug dealing. Zelaya supported narcs and in fact opposed measures to convict rich narcs who live in 2 million dollar homes. Poor people I have spoken to, who know how to read and write (few) know that Zelaya was not doing anything for our country. People think because he was an ally of Chavez that he was interested in eradicating poverty. This is certainly not the case. During his presidency, Zelaya flew to various countries on vacation using the country's money. The majority of people, including poor people, despised him. I hate how people from other countries think that Zelaya was somehow trying to make poor people's lives better and that is why he got ousted with help from the rich people and the US. UMM NOOOO. Everyone in my city, San Pedro Sula, is going to work and about their usual business, going out to dinner, etc. There WAS a curfew but not anymore. The protesters were very FEW and mostly Venezuelans as I have mentioned before. Honduras has such a bad rap that all this negative coverage isnt helping us out. If people really want to help us they should first inform themsleves and second come to our country!! Seriosuly, we have great tursim and the beaches are beautiful, better than Mexico.
