TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras – Ousted President Manuel Zelaya, despite the threats of his arrest upon his return, still promised to fly home this weekend.
With that thousands of
Hondurans demonstrated for and against the return of their evicted leader. Zelaya who was forced by a military
coup d' etat into exile after he insisted a national referendum that asks Hondurans if they are in favor of revising the country's constitution.
Meanwhile, acting President Roberto Micheletti, who was the head of the congress in Zelaya's administration warns that Zelaya, who still claims the presidency, will only be put back in power by a foreign invasion -- that is subject to treason.
Conversely, foreign nations are calling on isolating Honduras. U.S. President Barack Obama condemned the events and at the moment no countries have recognized the interim government of Honduras. Consequently, Micheletti send delegates in Washington to convinced the international community that his government is legitimate.
France, Spain, Italy, Chile and Colombia also joined other nations in recalling their ambassadors.
Although pro-Zelaya and pro-Micheletti protesters held their demonstration simultaneously, it was fortunate to know that there were no reports of violence.
