Keep up to date here about Zelaya's return to Honduras. I'm sure the U.S. stance did not embolden him to return at all, NOT. Let's hope our little, poor, isolated neighbour remains strong in its desire to protect democracy and its rule of law. I have two friends who have been directly affected by this. One who is here visiting and wants to go home but can't and one there who went on a business trip and now wants to come home but can't.
The best part of the updates on her blog so far, at least for me is the following.
"This part of the AP article is too good not to repeat: But Zelaya, who said he would hold a news conference Monday afternoon in Tegucigalpa, told the television station that he had "evaded a thousand obstacles" to return. And his staunch supporter, leftist Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, described the journey: "President Manuel Zelaya, along with four companions, traveled for two days overland, crossing mountains and rivers, risking their lives. They have made it to Honduras."
