In a deal signed Friday between negotiators for ousted president
Manuel Zelaya and the de facto government of
Roberto Micheletti, Zelaya will be allowed to return and finish up the last three months of his presidential term. Normal elections will be held on Nov. 29, and neither Zelaya nor Micheletti will run for office. Also, the
electoral court will take over control of the army, and a truth counsel will be established to investigate events that lead to the coup.
Government officials are hoping that the agreement will end
sanctions that were imposed after the coup and allow much needed aid to flow into the country. Despite sanctions, the IMF was still
dispersing money to the de facto government.
