The new Honduran leadership has started considering face saving ways to reverse the coup as the world pressure mounts heavily on Honduras to reverse coup. Roberto Micheletti, appointed president by congress, insisted that Zelaya was legally removed by the courts and Congress for violating Honduras'' constitution — allegedly to extend his rule.

Zelaya's ouster was Central America's first coup in at least 16 years, a blow from the barracks that reminded many of the military dictatorships the region has tried to bury in its past.

According to some local sources in Honduras, the congress is in secret meetings to reverse the coup with a face saving compromise. However, the military commanders are not agreeing so easily.
