President Oscar arias proposes peace talks among Guatemala Honduras and Nicaragua. No more girls funds from foreign countries United states mad about this peace talk among themselves. Try’s to propose a solution to Costa Rica. It flops and the nations continue to have proposals

Benjamin Linder an American who moved to Nicaragua to help built resources and education for Nicaraguans, shot by contra forces. A hero tour Nicaragua. Eugene hasenfus, American pilot who was dropping arms for contra captured by Sandinistas released later families thanked the gov hated Regan. Oliver North ambassador for the USA, contra ally. Said they don’t kill civilians.But they did kill and made heinous crimes.

Regan wanted Honduras to freely say Nicaragua was invading them so that they can come in and save them. It worked. Congress passed bill to help fund contras. Told world bank to veto any loan proposals from Nicaragua. Tho they qualified and saw it to be a good thing to give Nicaragua loans. They refused. The embargo’s and lack of funds had Nicaraguans in a chokehold.

Opposing candidates were bought off from Sandinistas. Regan was advising many to withdraw their candidacy. He won’t his second term, CIA and his administration leaked fake information about Nicaragua getting fighter jets from Russia on election night. Whole country knew it was false and even reporters. Regan was flying spy planes all day. Nicaragua on edge.

The Sandinistas paranoia of US interventions are hindering elections to becoming impossible. Germany, Norwegian, Colombia, Venezuela all gathered in Rio to discuss election integrity all though progress was declared. The general of FSLN refused the drafted deal he agreed as back in Nicaragua Ortega declared US military in land for the following weeks. What type of game of thrones shit is this
