Costa Rica protests Nicaraguan incursion
Development: On 21 October the Costa Rican government sent
an official letter of protest to Nicaragua for the alleged violation by
Nicaraguan military personnel of Costa Rica's
territory.
Significance: Tensions could quickly
escalate if those Nicaraguan workers and military personnel caught on camera
just inside the Costa Rican border are still on the ground when the Costa Rican
police forces deployed to secure the area arrive later today. According to Costa
Rica's minister of security, José María Tijerino, the administration of
President Laura Chinchilla will take all necessary measures “to guarantee [that]
Costa Rican sovereignty is respected".
