TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras – Soldiers ousted the democratically elected president of Honduras on Sunday and Congress named a successor, but the leftist ally of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez denounced what he called an illegal coup and vowed to stay in power. The first military takeover of a Central American government in 16 years drew widespread condemnation from governments in Latin America and the world, and Chavez vowed to overthrow the country's apparent new leader. President Manuel Zelaya was awakened Sunday by gunfire and detained while still in his pajamas, hours before an unpopular constitutional referendum many saw as a power grab. An air force plane flew him into forced exile in Costa Rica as armored military vehicles with machine guns rolled through the streets of the Honduran capital and soldiers seized the national palace. "I want to return to my country," Zelaya said in Costa Rica. "I am president of Honduras." Congress voted to accept what it said was Zelaya's letter of resignation, with even Zelaya's former allies turning against him. Congressional leader Roberto Micheletti was sworn in to serve until Jan. 27 when Zelaya's term ends. Micheletti belongs to Zelaya's Liberal Party, but opposed the president in the referendum. "My slogan will be the reconciliation of the grand family of Hondurans ... and a grand national dialogue," Micheletti said after Congress gave the military a long standing ovation. Zelaya denied resigning and insisted he would serve out his term, even as the Supreme Court backed the military takeover and said it was a defense of democracy. His ouster came hours before polls were to open on a constitutional referendum that Zelaya was pushing ahead even after the Supreme Court and the attorney general said it was illegal. The constitution bars changes to some of its clauses, such as the ban on a president serving more than one term, they said. Some businesses in the capital, Tegucigalpa, closed earlier this week amid the rising tension, and many speculated there would be a coup. Those who opposed the referendum warned against voting, fearing violence at the polls. Countries throughout Latin America and the world condemned Zelaya's expulsion, and Chavez said before Micheletti was sworn in that if he was appointed president, "we will overthrow him." Chavez said Venezuela "is at battle" and put his military on alert. In Havana, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez vowed to work with allies to push for Zelaya's return to power. He said Cuban Ambassador Juan Carlos Hernandez was held briefly in Tegucigalpa after he and other foreign diplomats tried unsuccessfully to prevent soldiers from taking away Honduran Foreign Minister Patricia Rodas. Chavez said troops in Honduras temporarily detained the Venezuelan and Cuban ambassadors and beat them. President Barack Obama said he was "deeply concerned" and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Zelaya's arrest should be condemned. "I call on all political and social actors in Honduras to respect democratic norms, the rule of law and the tenets of the Inter-American Democratic Charter," Obama's statement read. Coups were common in Central America for four decades reaching back to the 1950s, but Sunday's ouster was the first military power grab in Latin America since a brief, failed 2002 coup against Chavez. It was the first in Central America since military officials forced President Jorge Serrano of Guatemala to step down in 1993 after he tried to dissolve Congress and suspend the constitution. "We thought that the long night of military dictatorships in Central America was over," said Costa Rican President Oscar Arias, who sat beside Zelaya at a news conference. Zelaya told the Venezuela-based Telesur network that he was awoken by gunshots and the shouts of his security guards, who he said resisted troops for at least 20 minutes. Still in his pajamas, he jumped out of bed and ducked behind an air conditioner to avoid the bullets, he said. He said eight to 10 soldiers in masks escorted him onto an air force plane that took him to Costa Rica. Zelaya said he would attend a scheduled meeting of Central American presidents in Nicaragua on Monday and that Chavez, who also plans to attend, would provide transportation. Zelaya called on Honduran soldiers to back him, urged citizens to take to the streets in peaceful protests, and asked Honduran police to protect demonstrators. About 100 supporters congregated in front of locked gates outside the national palace, where they hurled rocks at soldiers and shouted "Traitors! Traitors!" They hung a Honduran flag. "They kidnapped him like cowards," screamed Melissa Gaitan. Tears streamed down the face of the 21-year-old, who works at the government television station. "We have to rally the people to defend our president." The vote did not take place on the referendum, which asked whether another vote should be held on convoking an assembly to rewrite the constitution.

Puntland state is balling this year. Just in time for July 4th. You're throwing big party I presume.

Competition is good, as long as you guys keep it civilized manner meaning No jabs in doing so. http://upload.wikime dia.org/wikipedia/en /3/3c/Puntland_map.p ng

Maxaa dharkay xidhan yihii ugu mashquul san tihiin? lool. Comment on their merits. They are inspecting and bringing to light the people who sell outdated food items which is rip off the least or carry health hazard the most.

One point to Puntland state.

Waar ma hajj kiiba laga mooganaaday. What with all these nonsensical calacal. I thought you were all 'anti gaalo'.

Who cares about the world.

Are we upset or have moved on? make up your mind! Rayaale was appointed to show the political as well qabiil maturity of Somaliland. It turns out he was a bad choice not because of his past but because of his present. In addition, here Somali govt crimes caught in a vidoe:

^Beautiful masjid there. Masha Allah.

^Yeah I know and how about NFD and Djabouti.

Originally posted by somalipride: [/b] I am pretty sure since no one has been brought up on war crimes from Gen Morgan to Riyaale that there is a lack of factual evidence to prove either claim. There is no doubt however, both sides engaged in warcrimes. In the same paragraph you denied that there is no evidence of war crimes being commited only to admit at the end. There is evidence of war crimes commited by siyad barre' facist goverment. But, Somaliland has moved on and isn't stuck on the pass as some others who are still trying to avenge for what happened in 90s civil wars.

Originally posted by Mr. Somalia: ^^^ Salaams to you brother S.Pride, I find it somewhat ironic that you still believe these moon bats who believe they all are, the illegitimate children of the queen of England-- still deserve getting lectured on the nefariousness of their claims. But the grace of God, their ill conceived vendetta to belittle us Somalis into a guilt trip ( based all on nothing but shameless prevarications of course) fails to address one very immutable fact; no matter what they do or say, no one on God's green earth will give them the recognition they so desperately try to attain through so much endless braying. Interesting "first thread", welcome to SOL.

Fake nationalism.

Faarax lool yes. Well I don't mind as Somali I gues since I'm use to it. But that doesnt mean they shouldn't improve their service specially since we are in a country where costumer service is valued.

Duke, What are you so upset about? that you didnt get to sit in the same room as somaliland. C'mon man will Faroole reward for all the begging he did.

ps. Siciid Saalax is gifted peot!

Oromo boy, Why does that bother you. I think you should liberate your country from the minorty Tigrays.

^Somaliland's commitment to peace in the Horn has been well noted. Donald Payne should know if he has done his homework right.

I never thought about dating when I was growing up. Just my dugsi, and my indian after noon movie. That is it.

loool yes I always find it funny that they ask for processing fee. Paragon, waar 150k(USD) iisoo xawal. Guri aan ku iibsadee baliis.

So he is dead huh! The guy was the most popular human being I think in the last 45 yrs. Death is xaq though.

^Safari restraunt has good service. Don't go to somali maqaayad in Somali malls and other areas. They don't know the least bit about service man. You have to yell across the room to get some attention. Shid.

Bottomline: Sh. hotel has been shady and inconsistant and we know it! But didnt the TFG under yey also fail? It did!(well, unless him killing innocent Somalis from the so call 'M society' is an a success.

lool duke writing in Somali.
