Honduras still split one year after president's removal

A year ago this week Honduras plunged into deep uncertainty after the then President Manuel Zelaya was removed from office and expelled from the country. It was the climax of a political crisis without precedent in this Central American nation. Many in Honduras think that, 12 months on, the political divisions that precipitated the crisis have not subdued; some even argue that they have worsened. "The country is a social, economic and political chaos," Patricia Licona, who was deputy foreign minister in the Zelaya administration, told the BBC from the Honduran capital, Tegucigalpa. Zelaya was removed from office amid a dispute over his plans to hold a vote to see if people were in favor of setting up an assembly, which would then look into altering some parts of the constitution.
