TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras — Ousted former Honduran President Manuel Zelaya returned from exile Saturday to a boisterous welcome from his supporters, ending a nearly two- year political crisis that started when the country’s military deposed him in an internationally condemned coup.
Wearing his trademark white, wide-brimmed hat, Zelaya called for an end to coups in the impoverished Central American country and urged his cheering supporters to carry out only “peaceful resistance.”
Zelaya’s comeback in an internationally brokered agreement paves the way for Honduras to re-enter the world community. The Organization of American States is scheduled Wednesday to consider Honduras’ full reintegration into the hemispheric body.
