Across the World: Honduras

Zelaya to camp on border

Exiled President Manuel Zelaya sought to increase pressure on his country's interim government, promising to camp out across the border in Nicaragua with his supporters and urging Washington to slap tough sanctions on coup leaders.

Zelaya hugged and clasped hands with dozens of supporters who trickled in on foot to the Las Manos mountain pass, connecting Honduras and Nicaragua on Saturday. He is demanding he be reinstated as president. The interim government of Roberto Micheletti has opposed his reinstatement as president, though not his return.
