Ecuador offers Wikileaks founder Assange residency

This article is from 30 November 2010 and not new. Still, I wonder if they will honor their offer and grant him asylum from extradition (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-18514726).

This is current news: http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2012/jun/20/julian-assange-a...

2 year old article, and it was the foreign minister who offered residency before the President rescinded it.
