Police soldiers have blanketed the streets of Tegucigalpa, enforcing a sunset-to-sunrise curfew with batons and metal poles a day after the military had prevented President Manuel Zelaya from returning.
Mr Zelaya landed in Nicaragua last night after soldiers thwarted his attempt to return home by parking military vehicles on the runway.
Soldiers clashed with over a hundred thousand civilians, who had gathered at the airport to welcome back their ousted premier, leaving three people dead, according to local press reports.
Speaking to the progressive Telesur TV network over the phone from the plane, Mr Zelaya said: “Faced with this situation, we have to proceed with what we had planned, which is the immediate reunion with the remaining members of the Organisation of American States, the other presidents who are here in the area to see what solutions we can find.”
OAS secretary-general Jose Miguel Insulza and Presidents Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner of Argentina, Rafael Correa of Ecuador and Fernando Lugo of Paraguay met Mr Zelaya in El Salvador later to show their support for him.
