Zelaya is quite unpredictable. He is to give a speech at the UN on Wednesday. If he is in the Brazilian embassy in Tegucigalpa the capital of Honduras it may be a bit of a problem to go from there to the UN in New York! Interesting that he was able to get to the Brazilian embassy without being detected! No doubt there will be larger demonstrations now that Zelaya has returned. Micheletti has claimed that only an invasion could return Zelaya to power but perhaps there will be an insurrection. Many in the business and military community and also clerics were for a negotiated solution based on the San Jose Accords. There could very well be divisions even within the establishment. We will see.

This is from AFP.

.....Thousands of Zelaya supporters took to the streets in a tense Tegucigalpa on hearing the news, which was widely reported on local and international media, as the Central American nation's interim leaders still denied he was there.

'...........The head of the Organization of American States (OAS) -- a pan-regional body which suspended Honduras after the coup -- confirmed in a statement that Zelaya was in the Brazilian embassy in the Honduran capital.

The OAS held an emergency session Monday to tackle the new twist in the crisis.

Many feared further violence following clashes between the army and Zelaya supporters during his two previous attempts to return, in which several people died.

"I want to call for calm from the actors in this process, to signal to the de facto government that they have to be responsible for the security of President Zelaya and the Brazilian embassy," said OAS Secretary General Jose Miguel Insulza.

Zelaya said Insulza would shortly travel to Honduras, in comments to CNN's Spanish-language channel.

He said he had traveled more than 15 hours to sneak back into the impoverished nation where he faces arrest from the interim leaders who had him ousted.

......."We're hoping for international cooperation so that Honduras returns to calm," said Zelaya, who is due to speak before the United Nations general assembly in New York on Wednesday.

......Interim leader Roberto Micheletti appeared to be caught off-guard as he told a news conference that Zelaya had not left neighboring Nicaragua.

"It's not true. He (Zelaya) is in a hotel suite in Nicaragua," Micheletti said.

Micheletti has said he will step aside after presidential elections are held as scheduled on November 29.

The internationally-backed mediation bid failed after the interim leaders refused to accept Zelaya's return to power as part of a unity government.""""
