Police in Nicaragua have ended the siege of a church where opposition supporters had sought refuge after being attacked by riot police and pro-government militias.

Doctors have been allowed to treat the injured inside the church in the city of Masaya. Two people have died.

Some 30 people who were inside the church were released after the local Catholic Church intervened.

More than 100 people have been killed in Nicaragua in six weeks of violence.

Ortega, the former Sandinista rebel leader, is in his third consecutive term in power.

He was re-elected in 2016, after the constitution was changed enabling him to stand again.

He has accused right-wing sectors of infiltrating "delinquents" and gang members in the protest movement to destabilise his government.

Talks between the government and the opposition, which were mediated by Nicaragua's Catholic Church, collapsed last week.

Several bishops taking part in the talks received death threats, which the Church said came from the government and official media.

Odd that these events haven't been covered in the US media.

Just kidding. Not surprising at all.

Do you think Mayor deBlasio noticed?

Kerry went behind Reagan. Kerry went behind Trump with Iran. Kerry goes behind everyone.

Popes comments?

That’s Kerry on the left, Pelosi (or is it Feinstein?) on the right, but who is in the middle?

Tom Harkin.

Socialism at work, once again.
Note how the libtards at the BBC refers to it simply as Sandinistas, trying to hide the fact that the authors of violence are always leftists and that leftism always ended in chaos and misery.
