last week without any high-profile international political summits and meetings, and political crisis in Iran, at least officially, has found its final solution. However, new information occasion not long to wait. Scheduled summer lull has violated the military coup in the Central American Honduras, occurred last Sunday. President Manuel Zelaya has been expelled from the country, as outlined in the June 28 referendum on amending the Constitution was derailed. The coup occurred almost silently and without casualties, and further statements by prominent politicians and representatives of all branches of State said the consensus of an overwhelming majority of the ruling elite about the removal from power of President. That is why the overwhelming majority of experts agree that the quiet revolution will remain a silent and not turn into a full-fledged political crisis in the country, despite the fact that no country in the world did not support the putsch. Scheduled for the end of the year the presidential election in the country again in due course put everything on the ground, and small political crisis will be on the low.
For the Central American region, the change of government in Honduras, however, slightly alter the overall balance. Excluded from power Manuel Zelaya methyl on the role of the new Hugo Chavez over Honduras in an attempt to populist statements and left policies to achieve the seven millionth of poor countries. In many ways it can be said that in the event of a referendum, the people (60% of the population engaged in agriculture) would support the intention of Zelaya elected to a second term. However, to say that red camp in Latin America, through Chile, Bolivia, Cuba, Nicaragua, the coup has suffered serious political defeat, as premature. Zelaya obviously was not a landmark piece as, say Chavez and Morales boliviansky head, and left site could be played and other, more consensus for the political elite Honduran politician.
Another noteworthy event of the week are the official start of the campaign in Afghanistan. Against the backdrop of the resonance, which received a presidential election in Iran, scheduled for August, expression of the will of the Afghan people to attract even more attention. First, because the stabilization of the situation in Afghanistan is the main priority of foreign and military policies 0politicheskoy Washington and, accordingly, a major headache of NATO. Secondly, because even at the beginning of the year, some observers noted that the current President of Afghanistan Hamid Karzai, might lose support from Washington, and thus is not firmly seated on his chair. During the last, in February the International Security Conference in Munich, discussthe situation around Afghanistan even became a mini-sensation. Unlike previous international meetings in Munich instead of the usual words of support Karzai heard a lot of criticism against his administration, as well as allegations of mismanagement of funds allocated to the stabilization of the situation in Afghanistan. If we add here made the statement shortly before the Munich Barak Obama that Afghanistan - a country of drugs, it can be assumed that the official Kabul lost unstinting support of Washington.
However, with or without the Americans, but for the moment, according to most observers, Karzai is chief challenger for the presidency of Afghanistan. His strategy to win support from a majority of Afghan leaders, including, possibly, with some members of the Taliban, is bearing fruit.
