NICARAGUA-COSTA RICA: Ortega blows hot and cold on territorial dispute
President Ortega chose a rally in the province of San Juan, which borders on Costa Rica, to issue on 8 October what started out sounding like a call for a peaceful solution to the dispute with his neighbours. ‘I wish to tell our Costa Rican brothers,’ he said, ‘that we are fraternal peoples, neighbourly peoples, and there is no reason to beat the drums of war. We would never think of beating the drums of war; never will war return to our region; never will Nicaragua become involved in any war.’ However, Ortega and his army commander later adopted a less conciliatory tone.
