The interim government of Honduras has imposed a curfew after the unexpected return of the ousted President Manuel Zelaya. Mr. Zelaya has taken refuge in the embassy of Brazil in the Honduran capital Tegucigalpa and his supporters have gathered outside. Mr Zelaya said he had crossed mountains and rivers to return to the capital where he was seeking dialogue. The left-leaning president has been living in exile in Nicaragua since being ousted at gunpoint on 28 June. The United States has backed Mr Zelaya during his exile and criticised the de facto leaders for failing to restore democratic, constitutional rule and the Organization of American States (OAS) has demanded Mr Zelaya's reinstatement. Speaking to the BBC from inside the Brazilian embassy, Mr Zelaya said he had received support from various quarters in order to return.
