Zelaya calls on Hondurans to 'final offensive'
2009-09-28
Manuel Zelaya, the deposed Honduran president, announced that he will launch the final offensive to regain power calling on all his followers to march to Tegucigalpa.

The request was announced from the Brazilian embassy in Honduras, through Radio Globo calling on all towns and villages to go to the capital.

Zelaya said "I ask for a patriotic move from all Honduras, and that everyone who is able come to Tegucigalpa to fight for a final offensive."

The manifestation will take place on Monday, after three months he was ousted. He also said that " actions must focus on the homeland, the reinstatement and the dictatorship's defeat," changing the traditional ending of "homeland, restitution or death. "

Roberto Micheletti gave Brazil "not more than ten days" to "define the situation of the deposed Honduran president." "Otherwise, we'll be forced to use all the protection offered by the Brazilian diplomatic mission to incicte violence in Honduras." And he announced that he will not "receive ambassadors from Spain, Argentina, Mexico and Venezuela."

He added: "For those countries that unilaterally decided to break diplomatic relations with Honduras or keep them at the level of concurrent embassies, namely, Argentina Spain, mexico and Venezuela, we let know that the Government won't receive diplomats from those countries", "unless their respective governments proceed to negotiate with the Republic Chancellery."

I take it not mentioning the US Ambo was an oversight.
