Q&A: Political crisis in Honduras
- Published
Mr Zelaya (R) and Mr Lobo agreed a deal to try to end the crisis
In June 2009, Honduras was thrown into political crisis when President Manuel Zelaya was sent into exile amid a power struggle over his plans for constitutional change.
The Central American nation was expelled from the Organization of American States (OAS) and many countries cut ties.
On 28 May 2011, Mr Zelaya returned to Honduras, following an agreement with current President Porfirio Lobo.
In July 2011, a commission set up to investigate the events of 2009 concluded that it was a coup but that Mr Zelaya's actions helped precipitate the crisis.
