Nicaragua Today
Like him or loathe him, President Daniel Ortega's re-election has delivered something
that Nicaragua has lacked for a long time: a sense of stability. Gone are the transport
strikes, debilitating power rationing and unpredictable rallies. And, after being dev-
astated by the civil war, the country's economy and infrastructure are slowly being re-
constructed. But all is not rosy, Nicaragua remains the poorest nation on the Americ-
an continent and questions continue to be raised at home and abroad over perceived
erosion of democracy.
