Zelaya comes back to his capital after approx. 3 months in exile

Manuel Zelaya, president of Honduras, returned to his country after serving three months in exile. In an interview with BBC’s Latin American service, he says that his arrival was serene and supported by several groups that he will keep anonymous. They traveled for 15 hours through mountains and waters, until they reached the capital of Honduras, Tegucigalpa.

He says, “We overcame military and police obstacles on the highways, because this country has been kidnapped by the military forces.” He went on to talk about how the United Nations and Secretary of the Organization of America States, Jose Insulza, will come together with him to speak of ways to reconstruct democracy in Honduras.

He says his political plan to reconstruct Honduras is to take a different approach towards a solution. He claims in the past, coup leaders were inactive upon finding solutions, and now his team should “take over the diplomatic side.”

He has not contacted the militia of Honduras yet, but he has requested that they not use violent acts against the people of Honduras. He was accused of his comeback being “irresponsible,” and could lead to violence. His response was, “I call for peace and non violence . . . problems always have to be solved by calling for democracy and not the weapons.”
