sounds a great idea to put trade sanctions on the US, I guess though that other countries would rightly say this has to be done through the UN, as otherwise they would be unilateral measures to which many countries are rightly opposed.

By profession I used to be a city planner. There are few things sadder than to see a city completely destroyed, everything the city dwellers have created as well as many of the people themselves. This is the mayor of Gaza's story: nytimes.com/2023/12/24/opi…

Great that AMLO is pushing Biden to end sanctions on Cuba and Venezuela, let's hope he argues the same about Nicaragua. apnews.com/article/mexico…

Si en Cuba, Venezuela o Nicaragua se emitiera un decreto derogando 300 leyes, el capital te hablaría sin parar sobre 'dictaduras', pero fué su libertario Javier Milei en Argentina, por tanto le ovacionan y se afilan los colmillos para deborar la carroña hasta los huesos...

According to Foreign Policy's Catherine Osborn, Alex Saab (whom she does not even name) is a 'close business associate' of President Maduro's, not a diplomat who was saving lives in Venezuela when he was illegally kidnapped by the US foreignpolicy.com/2023/12/22/lat…

It won't happen, but at least some US lawmakers are calling for an end to the Monroe Doctrine and interventionism in Latin America. As well as radical reform of the OAS, they should have added abolishing the US Southern Command to their list. english.elpais.com/usa/2023-12-21…

The 'old man' of 2023 awaits his fate on December 31st, in a Nicaraguan village. He's supplied with 'liquor' in the meantime...

Interesting article in Jacobin about using legal means to stop Trump. It might have added that this is 'lawfare', honed by the US in Latin America. It's one of many techniques used to win an election without taking the obvious course of simply a fielding a better candidate.

Fantastic to see Alex Saab released after more than three years as a political prisoner in the US. What a hero!

The Economist belittles AMLO and Mexico (again). How pathetic when neither the UK nor the US can build new railways, but Mexico can. 'Money down the Train' - I don't think so. economist.com/the-americas/2…

Nicaragua's 'independent' media were ecstatic that a ferry service would take commercial traffic away and damage Nicaragua's economy. Now the service has collapsed from under-use.

This book by Alfred de Zayas has only a few mentions of Nicaragua but is full of comments that apply to the appalling way it's treated by the HR 'industry', including as recently as this month.

A new low for the United Nations Human Rights Council - it listens to Medardo Mairena, guilty of organising an attack on a Nicaraguan police station in 2018 which caused 5 deaths, talk about 'human rights'.

I agree with Camila about Antonia Urrejola and I am happy to say she has blocked me. Urrejola whitewashed the violence of the coup-mongers in Nicaragua in 2018.
