Nicaragua's Elections and the US' 'Color Revolution'
Published 5 November 2021
The so-called color revolutions or soft coups are today one of the silent intervention strategies employed by the United States, with the purpose of overthrowing governments contrary to its economic, political, social and military vision.
One of the most recent cases against Nicaragua is the suspension of hundreds of accounts of journalists and activists in favor of the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) in the social networks Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, less than a week before the general elections.
The censorship campaign also swept media outlets advocating a leftist media agenda from digital platforms, representing another of the actions taken by U.S. Presidents Donald Trump and current President Joe Biden after the failed coup attempt in 2018. Later came the closure of profiles with thousands of followers belonging to large and influential media within the country.
For Uruguayan political analyst, based in Managua, Jorge Capelán, Washington has used all methods of destabilization in the Central American nation, and since the very triumph of the Sandinista Revolution in 1979 it has financed a counterrevolutionary paramilitary force.
“During 10 years, the deaths as a consequence of that confrontation are estimated at over 50,000. The so-called contras tortured, burned cooperatives, attacked health posts and blew up bridges, but they were never able to establish a beachhead in national territory,” he told Prensa Latina.
