Zayda Hernández and Víctor Cuadras are some of the Nicaraguan university students risking their lives in mass protests against Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega and his wife, Vice President Rosario Murillo.

Their only weapons are their cellphones.


Nicaraguan student activists Víctor Cuadras and Zayda Hernández discuss the abuses they’ve seen by the government of Nicaragua and its president, Daniel Ortega, since widespread protests in the country began in April after the government’s proposed changes to the Social Security system. The students spoke at the Hilton Garden Inn and Homewood Suites at the Dolphin Mall on July 12, 2018. They said more than 300 people have been killed by police since the protests began, which human-rights groups have reported.

Before the protests started in April by people outraged by the government’s proposed changes to the Social Security system, they were just students at the National Engineering University. Today they are student leaders, visiting Miami to denounce the human rights abuses and social and political crises in their country.

“We are governed by a genocidal couple that has sunk the country under a wave of state terrorism. To join a peaceful protest for them is reason enough to order your death,” Hernández said Thursday at a news conference in Doral organized by SOS Nicaragua Global, a group of Nicaraguans living abroad who support the protesters.

The body of one of his friends, Keller Pérez Duarte, 23, turned up in the Cuesta El Plomo, the same place where the Somoza dictatorship once dumped its execution victims. Pérez Duarte, a student at the National Agriculture University, had been strangled and tortured by Ortega’s forces.

Cuadras said 350 people have been killed, 169 disappeared and 3,000 have been wounded by police agents since April’s protests began. At least 20 people were killed on July 8, the Economist reported.

“The regime has not stopped its thirst for blood and vengeance,” Cuadras said. “Trying to cling to power, it hasn’t had the sense to think of the acts it’s carrying out against the Nicaraguan people.”

The 25-year-old student also alleged that Cuban and Venezuelan intelligence agents have been active in Nicaragua since Ortega assumed power in 2007.

This is heard ALL OVER LATIN AMERICA. Every time some extremist Marxist dictator starts feeling the heat, who should appear in the ranks of the military and police and "youth organizations" but "persons with Cuban accents".

Until recently, they were all over Honduras. Picking up on their accent is as easy as finding the Maine DownEaster at a Texas picnic. When Manuel Zelaya was caught usurping the Constitution, who came a running? When all the hubbub about the last elections in Honduras started, who were the instigators of the violence? And when Ortega "needed help" one nation to the south... all of the troublemakers in Honduras suddenly disappeared into the ether and reappeared in Nicaragua. Coincidence that things are now uber quiet in Honduras, while "Cuban accents" are found all over Nicaragua and people are being slaughtered?

When Chavez fended off a coup in 2002, and broke the PdVSA strike in 2003... who should appear in the military, intelligence agencies and "Bolivarian police"?

And who recently gifted an entire refinery to Cuba, and last week sent half a million barrels of crude there... gratis? While their own people eat GARBAGE? Who do you suppose is the puppeteer pulling the strings in Venezuela and Nicaragua?

1. This sounds a little fishy but, typical of your posts Fishy

[GatoGordo]

2. So you thinks its plausible that Russia is involved in our elections

And the US government has its hand in the affairs of nearly every developing country in the Western Hemisphere...

But "fishy" that Cuba has any involvement whatsoever in the goings on in Nicaragua? Chavez had previously admitted (since 2008) to Cuban intelligence working closely with SEBIN and the FANB in Venezuela.
