The president of Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega, said that in his opinion the "influence of jihadist terrorism of the Islamic State (ISIS) has reached his country" and gave as an example the murders that have occurred in the context of the protests against his government since last April 18.



"It seems that the influence of ISIS has come through the networks to Nicaragua," the president said at an event on the occasion of the 39th anniversary of the Air Force, before hundreds of Nicaraguan soldiers.

According to Ortega, for a few weeks the country was mired in terror due to the "terrorist practices that were not known" in Nicaragua, among which he mentioned kidnappings of citizens and police, followed by torture, which in some cases meant burning you live people.

"Then they danced, they jumped and celebrated around the corpse. Pure terrorism," stressed the president, who blamed those practices on his detractors, who, he said, are financed by "yhe extremist groups of the United States and agencies of that country."

Both the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (CIDH) and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (Acnudh) have blamed the Nicaraguan government for "murders, extrajudicial executions, ill-treatment, possible acts of torture and arbitrary detentions.", What Ortega has denied.

On Tuesday, Cuban-American congressmen Mario Diaz-Balart and Ileana Ros Lehtinen urged the US government. to do more to eliminate Ortega's "cancer of the regime".
