Ex-leader returns to Honduras 2 years after ouster

None

Former President Manuel Zelaya returned from exile on Saturday, ending a nearly two-year political crisis caused by his ouster in a military-backed coup that led to Honduras' international isolation.

 

Zelaya's flight from neighboring Nicaragua landed at Tegucigalpa's international airport, where thousands of his supporters had set up a tent camp nearby, dancing and singing to celebrate his arrival. He was accompanied by his wife Xiomara Castro, two of his daughters, several former officials in his government and the foreign ministers of Venezuela and Bolivia. (AP)
