TEGUCIGALPA - Honduras' ousted president said he will return to his country in two days and reclaim control from coup leaders, urging soldiers to go back to their barracks and stop cracking down on thousands of his supporters who have protested his overthrow.
The military coup has provoked the condemnation of world leaders from Barack Obama to Venezuela's Hugo Chavez and sparked clashes in the Honduran capital that have left dozens of people injured.
Manuel Zelaya said late Monday that he would accept an offer by Organization of American States Secretary-General Jose Miguel Insulza to accompany him back to Honduras and work for the restoration of the democratic order. "I will return Thursday to Tegucigalpa and I want the support of whoever thinks I have the right to finish my presidency," Zelaya said in Nicaragua.
