LA PAZ (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said on Friday that ousted Honduran leader Manuel Zelaya would return to his country "in the coming hours."
Chavez, an ally of the president who was toppled in a June 28 coup, spoke as Costa Rica's president prepared to host weekend talks with the rival sides in the standoff -- the worst political crisis in Central America since the Cold War.
"Zelaya said that in the coming hours he'll enter Honduras. We're behind him, we have to support him," the leftist Venezuelan leader told reporters outside the presidential palace in Bolivia where he was meeting President Evo Morales.There was no immediate confirmation of the plans by Zelaya, who is currently in Nicaragua, which borders Honduras.
There were reports yesterday that Zeleya was on his way there, apparently that didn't pan out so we hold fast and lets see what develops. By the way here is this gem:
On Thursday, the fiery Venezuelan leader repeated an allegation -- which Washington has denied -- that U.S. authorities had a hand in the coup. The ouster has been widely condemned by foreign governments, including the United States.
Right, sounds familiar don't it?
