Fury Swells in Nicaragua as Election Time Nears

Having just been effected by a recent uprising and the removal of a wildly unpopular government, Nicaragua is currently starting a fresh upheaval. A nation having merely 20 years of democracy below its belt, Nicaraguans are learning that corruption and greed can break into democratic countries along with tyrannies, and they are starting to make noise regarding it.

After helping overthrow the Sandinistas in open elections in 1991, the U.S. was on sound terms with the new government, and several countries were offering aid to the fairly poor nation to retain its democracy. At this point when strains are starting to increase and the prospect of democracy seems to be in danger, several of those same countries have started scaling back or abolishing all aid to the nation, forcing it further into poverty. The Nicaraguan government has become increasingly hostile concerning the U.S. government, and U.S. industries are beginning to be unwilling to invest in any new business in the country.

The fragmentation of the nation commenced in November 2008 subsequent to local election and leader started speaking about misdeeds going on in the system. Soon following that, the Supreme Court of Nicaragua ruled that its former leader, Daniel Ortega, wildly unpopular with the Nicaraguan people, was able to try for re-election in the upcoming 2011 race. Swiftly the people began to be suspicious of the whole governmental organization, and have thus begun staging protests and growing rhetoric to new heights.

Allegations of eliminating democratic freedoms are being launched at the current government, as are suggestions that they are attempting to impede media access and regulate the news leaving the nation. All of this, paired with the quickly increasing poverty level of its inhabitants, has led many to feel certain that fighting will ensue in the nation prior to the 2011 elections. Opposition groups and human rights organizations have become progressively more voiced concerning their disapproval with the status of the government in Nicaragua.
