The Organization of American States met in Washington today in a special session to condemn the coup against Honduran President Manuel Zelaya. Foreign ministers from all member states including Belize were represented. No formal statement has been issued yet but a similar meeting was also held at the United Nations where the ousted president also won overwhelming international support.
Zelaya intends to return to Honduras this week and the plan is that Presidents of Argentina and Ecuador will accompany Zelaya along with the heads of the Organization of American States and the U.N. General. The interim leader named by Congress, Roberto Micheletti, has warned that only an armed invasion could restore toppled President Manuel Zelaya.
Micheletti noted also the possibility of invasion from other Latin American countries but vowed that Honduras was ready to fight. Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has said that any aggression toward Zelaya from Micheletti's government should prompt a military intervention by the United Nations.
