Will the transition speed up or will Ortega kill the negotiations?
Several events during the ides of May
gave the citizenry’s resistance renewed energy.
In response, of course, the regime
intensified its control over the population
and acted unilaterally, ignoring the Civic Alliance,
its counterpart at the negotiating table.
What might the ides of June bring?
An acceleration of the difficult transition
the majority of Nicaraguans want?
Or will the regime scuttle the
second shot at a negotiated solution?... continuar...

Overhaul the existing Police or create a new one?
The new Nicaragua will have to create a new police force,

Even more importantly, the human rights violations
and crimes against humanity the Police have committed

have put paid to what little legitimacy it still retained.
Nicaragua needs and wants a new police force
with a new doctrine, and new formation and training
governed by a democratic public security policy.
Reforms won’t do; the change will have to be total,
right down to a new name and different uniforms,... continuar...

Torture in the detention centers
The following is a summary of “Going back to being human,”
a preliminary report about torture in the regime’s detention centers
written by human rights defenders in the Colectivo Nicaragua Nunca+.
They originally were part of the Nicaraguan Human Rights Center (CENIDH),
and took exile in Costa Rica during the December 2018 repressive wave.
This important report is the first extended documentation of the horror
that was and still is being experienced by people imprisoned
for opposing the Ortega-Murillo regime after the
April 2018 civic rebellion.... continuar...

Undocumented emigrants’ civil disobedience: Self-employment and informality
The civil disobedience of each working day
has given undocumented emigrants in the US
a space where their own business licenses,
recognition of their skills and qualifications,
their personalized work, their financial progress
and their trucks, which serve as their passports,
all make them increasingly more indispensable,
thus less excluded by migration laws and racism.
I met four interesting examples:
Reynaldo the gardener, Eladio the tailor,
Kelvin the builder and Benjamín the businessman.... continuar...
