San José (AFP) - Le gouvernement du Nicaragua a décrété lundi la fermeture de 1.500 ONG, pour la plupart religieuses, dans ce qui constitue la plus grande dissolution d'organisations ordonnée par le président Daniel Ortega depuis 2018 et les manifestations contre son régime. Selon une décision du ministère de l'Intérieur, publiée dans le journal officiel La Gaceta, la radiation de ces 1.500 ONG est justifiée par le fait qu'elles "n'ont pas déclaré" leurs "états financiers" pendant des périodes allant de un à 35 ans. Leurs biens seront saisis par l'État. Il s'agit de la plus importante fermetur...

Panama (AFP) - Le Nicaragua a célébré vendredi l'anniversaire du renversement de la dictature de la famille Somoza par guérilla sandiniste. Mais 45 ans après, le président Daniel Ortega, au pouvoir depuis 17 ans, est accusé par ses opposants et détracteurs de mettre en place un régime semblable à celui qu'il a contribué à vaincre. Dans la soirée, des milliers de sympathisants du dirigeant, rassemblés à Managua, ont fait virevolter des drapeaux rouge et noir du Front sandiniste de libération nationale (FSLN), à l'origine de la révolution. "Nous sommes libres et jamais nous ne redeviendrons escl...

Panama City (AFP) - Nicaragua has become a hot spot for migrants from around the world seeking to avoid a brutal trek through the Darien Gap jungle -- including the 303 Indians whose plane was grounded last week in France on their way to the Central American nation. Migrants from South American and Caribbean countries, Africa and Asia, have long had to brave the lawless, virtually impassable rainforest that straddles Panama and Colombia, in a bid to reach the United States. However, analysts say that the government of Nicaragua's iron-fisted President Daniel Ortega, a longtime nemesis of the U...

Havana (AFP) - Cuban and Haitian migrants are increasingly taking chartered flights to Nicaragua from where they seek to travel overland to the United States, prompting Washington to impose sanctions this week on the operators of the aircraft. Irma Perez, a 28-year-old Cuban, told AFP she arrived in the Nicaraguan capital Managua last month aboard a charter flight run by Mexican aviation firm Viva Aerobus. "We had a 45-minute layover in Cancun (Mexico) without disembarking, and then came to Managua," she said. Perez was speaking from Mexico, after she, her husband and one-year-old son traveled...

The Hague (AFP) - The UN's top court dismissed Nicaragua's claims against Colombia Thursday in a decades-long Latin American legal battle over an oil- and fish-rich swathe of the Caribbean Sea. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) said it "rejects" Nicaragua's bid to improve an earlier 2012 ruling that gave it a large chunk of the Caribbean, while awarding seven small islands to Colombia. Colombian President Gustavo Petro hailed the "victory" in the latest instalment of a legal saga that has dragged out at the Hague-based court since 2001. "Great victory for Colombia in The Hague," tweeted...

By Srijit Das A video from Nicaragua showing a car being swept away by flood waters is going viral on social media with a false claim that it shows terrifying visuals from Karnataka's Dandeli region. BOOM found that the video shows an accident that took place in Nicaragua on May 29 this year where the driver of the vehicle lost his life. The initial few seconds of the nearly two-minute-long video shows a car overtaking other vehicles and moving ahead toward a waterlogged area. The car almost immediately begins to float and then gets stuck under a pedestrian bridge due to the water stream. In t...

Managua (AFP) - Several thousand pro-government demonstrators marched Saturday in Nicaragua in support of the expulsion of 222 critics of President Daniel Ortega's government, which has called them "traitors to the homeland." The Central American nation released the detained dissidents and exiled them to the United States on Thursday, a move welcomed by Washington, which has imposed sanctions over Ortega's crackdown on the political opposition. The pro-government demonstrators passed through the streets of the capital Managua waving flags of Nicaragua, Venezuela, Cuba and Ortega's ruling party...

Washington (AFP) - Over 200 detained members of Nicaragua's opposition were freed Thursday and expelled to the United States, in a surprise move by the Central American country's increasingly authoritarian president, Daniel Ortega. After weeks of quiet talks with Washington, Nicaragua allowed the 222 detainees -- which include former challengers to Ortega -- to board a chartered flight to Washington. US officials said they would allow the former prisoners to stay for at least two years and provide medical and legal support. "I would like to thank God and everyone who made possible this miracle...

León (Nicaragua) (AFP) - It took Ana Muller half an hour to trek to the peak of the Cerro Negro volcano, a small effort given the reward on offer at Nicaragua's top tourist attraction: volcano boarding. The active Cerro Negro is just 728 meters (2,400 feet) high, but sliding down its ash-covered slopes on a board is a 40-second thrill that allows participants to say they have surfed a volcano. "It is a unique experience," said Muller, a German tourist who enjoyed the "adrenaline." "You can only do it in a few places in the world. "There are many volcanoes here in Central America, but only volc...
