Ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya on Saturday said he would camp out at his country's border with Nicaragua and rally support for his return. Zelaya risked arrest Friday, crossing the Nicaraguan-Honduran border in an effort to reclaim power after mediation efforts failed to resolve the Central American country's political standoff, according to a report of the Associated Press. In the Nicaraguan border town of Las Manos, Zelaya vowed to sleep in a tent for the next few days and called on his supporters to "stand strong." He said that he had the support of the world and the international community had condemned the coup in Honduras. Deposed and expelled by the military on June 28, Zelaya insisted on returning to Honduras after mediation efforts failed to achieve his restoration. But shortly after crossing the border on Friday, Zelaya retreated to the Nicaraguan side. Zelaya is also planning to visit Washington Tuesday, US State Department spokesman Philip Crowley said.
