Al Jazeera English - Americas - Ousted president 'to exit' Honduras

Al Jazeera English - Americas - Ousted president 'to exit' Honduras: "The ousted Honduran president, Manuel Zelaya, is to leave the country for exile to Mexico, sources have said.

Zelaya, who was forced to leave the country by the Honduran military in a June coup, has been holed up in the Brazilian embassy in Tegucigalpa, the Honduran capital, since he slipped back into the country in September.

But a politician close to Zelaya told Reuters on Wednesday: 'He is going to leave the country today. He is leaving of his own will'."
