Ousted President Manuel Zelaya has encamped his roving government-in-exile in this sleepy mountain town near the Honduran border to launch his return to power after a coup last month. After weeks of shuttling between Central America and Washington, Zelaya said he would not leave the border region for at least a week, despite a U.S. State Department spokesman saying he would arrive Tuesday in Washington to restart negotiations with the interim government that deposed him. "This week of my life is for me to occupy myself with the Honduran people," Zelaya told reporters as well as Honduran supporters gathered in Ocotal late Sunday night.
