Highlights:

Lobo announced he would be participating in the May 18 summit in Madrid of leaders of the European Union, Latin America and the Caribbean. It will be something of a coming out party for the leader and a return to the international stage for a country pretty much ignored by much of Latin America and the global community since Honduras' November 2009 election.
The return of Honduras to the international community was welcomed by analysts [read: leftist liberal ignoramuses] and received with relief in the capital as a way out of the crisis. Although sanctions have been lifted and aid packages restored, Honduras is still limping back to economic and diplomatic recovery, and progress has been slow.


Lobo's government is still not recognized by most of the international community, an indication that the United States, European Union and friends of Honduras such as Spain face a task ahead of the country's slow rehabilitation.
Another sign that the powers that be merely legitimate corruption and usurpation, when it suits their interests. This will be another matter to slowly fade from public consciousness, until it is completely forgotten and expunged from historical record. Sad.

I guess, this will just be the way they operate. With sparse news coverage, at best blaming the victims.
Intresting that this article states a reason for "removal" alongside "losing friends in Washington" (obvious):

Micheletti's camp always argued that Zelaya was removed because of his attempted tinkering with the constitution to give him another term. Zelaya also lost friends in Washington because of his anti-U.S. rhetoric while in power and frequent political flirtations that appeared to push socialist agenda.
