Ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya has returned to his country and sought refuge inside the Brazilian embassy. The BBC reports:
"[We travelled] for more than 15 hours… through rivers and mountains until we reached the capital of Honduras, which we reached in the early hours of the morning," he said.
"We overtook military and police obstacles, all those on the highways here, because this country has been kidnapped by the military forces."
He said he was consulting with sectors of Honduran society and the international community in order "to start the dialogue for the reconstruction of the Honduran democracy".
Mr Zelaya’s supporters have gathered outside UN buildings in Tegucigalpa, after initial reports suggested he was there.
Interestingly, Zelaya is scheduled to address the U.N. General Assembly on Thursday. The official schedule, which still lists him as "President of the Republic of Honduras," has him speaking between Alvaro Uribe and Dmitry Medvedev some time after 3 p.m. Guess he’s probably not making that engagement.
