WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Ousted Honduran President Jose Manuel Zelaya said Wednesday he will not return to his home country until at least Saturday, after a three-day international deadline to reinstate him.
Zelaya had said earlier he would return to Honduras on Thursday. Provisional Honduran President Roberto Micheletti said Tuesday that Zelaya would be arrested on multiple charges if he returns.
The Organization of American States passed a resolution early Wednesday saying that Zelaya should be returned to power within 72 hours. The United Nations unanimously passed a similar resolution Tuesday afternoon.
The governments of most Latin American nations, as well as the United States and Canada, have voiced their displeasure with the coup and said they want Zelaya back in power.
The World Bank said Tuesday it would freeze funds to Honduras until the crisis is resolved, and the United States said it is reviewing its aid to the Central American nation.
It bothers me that the left leaning media said there were "thousands" protesting for Zelaya. And yet the video I saw, showed at very most hundreds.
Aside from these "cuatro gatos" there was a platoon of communists giving their clenched fist salute.
Funny I didn't hear a peep out of the UN over Iran. But, the minute a leftist comrade gets in trouble the UN can not wait to get involved.
