TEGUCIGALPA (Reuters) - Honduras' ousted president and de facto leader gave signs they would try again on Saturday to form a unity government to guide the country out of a four-month crisis after the process collapsed a day earlier.
President Manuel Zelaya, a refugee in his own country in the Brazilian Embassy, early on Friday declared dead a pact to end the crisis, while de facto leader Roberto Micheletti said he would form a new government without Zelaya's participation.
The United States and the Organization of American States on Friday pushed the two sides to try again, while Latin American presidents urged Zelaya's re-instatement, which has been the sticking point of the accord.
In the latest twist in the long saga, Micheletti's government said it would suspend installing a new cabinet to give Zelaya the weekend to name members to it.
On the other side, a negotiator for Zelaya said representatives from the two sides would meet on Saturday to continue the negotiating process.
