NICARAGUA: Ortega dredges up an old dream
President Daniel Ortega last week appeared to breathe new life into a very old initiative.

The initiative, which would involve the San Juan River, has unsurprisingly attracted the attention of Costa Rica with whom Nicaragua is currently locked in a territorial dispute over the river delta.
