The Americas' top international diplomat has arrived in Honduras to give the coup-backed government a firm ultimatum: Restore the president within 24 hours or face crippling sanctions.
The head of the interim government is pledging to stand firm in the face of international pressure for the return of ousted President Manuel Zelaya, telling thousands of supporters rallying in front of the national palace: "I am the president of all Hondurans."
Jose Miguel Insulza is the head of the Organization of American States. He planned to meet with Honduran leaders on Friday "basically to clarify exactly what our position is."
