Honduran authorities have imposed a curfew after the dramatic return of ousted President Manuel Zelaya.
Mr Zelaya has sought refuge inside the Brazilian embassy in Tegucigalpa and hundreds of his supporters have gathered outside. He said he had crossed mountains and rivers to return to the capital, where he said he was seeking dialogue.
| Figured out he was disposable, did he ... |
| Likely he appeared magickally inside the embassy wearing dark glasses and waving a Brazilian diplo passport, fresh from Finland Station. Everyone was just so surprised. |
In a televised address, interim leader Roberto Micheletti demanded that Brazil hand over Mr Zelaya to stand trial. Mr Micheletti said Brazil would be held responsible for any violence.
"A call to the government of Brazil: respect the judicial order against Mr Zelaya and turn him into Honduran authorities," he said. "The eyes of the world are on Brazil and Honduras."
Mr Zelaya's return took officials by surprise, with Mr Micheletti at first denying the deposed leader was in the country.
It looks like the nightmare scenario for the coup leaders. They've done everything in their power to prevent Manuel Zelaya's return - sending soldiers to prevent his plane landing in the days after the coup, and later to the border to stop him crossing from Nicaragua.
The confirmation that Mr Zelaya is back will have come as a humiliation for Roberto Micheletti and damaged his authority inside the country.
| Or confirm everyone's worst fears ... |
The interim government has been condemned around the world for the coup, but has consolidated its control. Mr Zelaya's return now brings the crisis back to the boil.
| And that's why he came back ... |
The interim government has been playing for time - hoping to cling to power until new elections set for November. It is no longer in control of events and looks more vulnerable than at any time since the coup.
As tension inside Honduras increased, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Mr Zelaya's return must not lead to violence. "It's imperative that dialogue begin... (that) there be a channel of communication between President Zelaya and the de facto regime in Honduras," she said.
In images broadcast on national television, a smiling Mr Zelaya wearing his trademark white cowboy hat appeared on the balcony of the Brazilian embassy waving to a crowd of supporters. Shortly afterwards officials imposed the 15-hour curfew, starting at 1600 (2200 GMT) on Monday.
Brazilian Foreign Minister Celso Amorim said neither his country nor the OAS had played any part in Mr Zelaya's return, the Associated Press news agency reported.
| Other than host him in their embassy ... |
OAS chief Jose Miguel Insulza also called for calm, telling Honduran authorities they were responsible for the security of Mr Zelaya and the Brazilian embassy.
| Technically true, but Insulza is a tool of the lefties. |
