Zelaya to return to power, ending crisis in Honduras

The de facto government that took power in Honduras after deposing President Manuel Zelaya has agreed to a deal that will return Zelaya to power, seemingly bringing the standing political crisis to an end. The deal will see Zelaya serve out the remaining three months of his tenure before the Nov. 29 election -- in which neither Zelaya nor de facto government leader Roberto Micheletti will serve as candidates. The power-sharing agreement requires the factions led by Zelaya and Micheletti to recognize the results of the election.
