Ninety percent of the issues holding up negotiations “have been resolved,” Zelaya said in a telephone interview from inside the Brazilian embassy.
But if the remaining 10 percent “is an obstacle, then one has to trust the ... international community to continue pressuring” the regime, he said.
Zelaya said that in order to begin a “sincere” dialogue with the interim government, civil liberties must be restored; two pro-Zelaya broadcast stations the regime took over must re-open; soldiers must withdraw from around the Brazilian embassy; and he must be allowed to chose his representatives for the negotiations.
Zelaya and 60 aides and reporters are surrounded at the embassy “where they have us imprisoned like in a concentration camp” — and members of his Cabinet have been not been allowed entry, he said.
