On Friday July 24, ousted President Manuel Zelaya crossed into Honduras after coup president Roberto Micheletti refused the terms negotiated by Nobel Peace Prize winner Costa Rican President Oscar Arias this weekend which would have restored Zelaya to power under a reconciliation government. He crossed with hundreds of supporters forming a circle around him in as protection but he had to retreat to avoid bloodshed. The military had blocked many more supporters 10 kilometers before the border.
