Radio Globo from Tegucigalpa reports that 9 buses have been stopped in the
Department of Colon in Honduras - on the border with Nicaragua. The buses
carried people who wanted to be at the border to welcome the crossing of
president Zelaya. The military have stopped and seized the buses and the
people are now walking toward the border. Although the information is
broadcast over community radio stations in Honduras and throughout Latin
America, the main commercial radio and TV stations throughout the
hemisphere are not providing any coverage.

1. And we have people here who have tried to tell us Zelaya isn't liked by the people.

That's not what the facts have said from the first.

This one situation itself is a deep, DEEP expression of support, and of faith, a committment beyond any of the utterly profoundly safe things US trolls have ever DREAMED of doing.

MANAGUA, July 23 (Xinhua) -- A vehicle caravan of reporters, cameramen and photographers from the international press will accompany ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya to return to Honduras on Thursday.

Zelaya planned to set off at around 3 p.m. local time (2100 GMT) from Managua, a source with Honduran embassy in Nicaragua told Xinhua.

From a long list of reporters who applied for entourage membership, it is not given who were the chosen ones.

Zelaya said on Wednesday night that at midday Thursday he would travel to Esteli and Ocotal, Nicaraguan region bordering Honduras. He said on Friday he would enter Honduran territory, hopefully to be welcomed not only by his family.

Meanwhile, reporters from local media reported on Thursday that the Honduran migratory authorities are closed for service.

Nicaragua media said that, over the frontier, Honduran police and soldiers were deployed in nearby areas, seemingly in tense waiting for order to act.

Nicaraguan Foreign Minister Ana Isabel Morales told official Radio Nicaragua that her government "is observing the situation to take necessary measure as to guarantee our citizens' safety."
