Nica-Tico Border Dispute Update -1

The Nicaragua-Costa Rica tiff over disputed territory along the San Juan River in northeastern Costa Rica is receiving scant attention in the English-language press.

It is obvious Nicaragua is not going to back down anytime soon. The dispute between Managua and San José has nothing to do with an error on Google maps. Ortega relishes the bad boy role for ALBA (the Chavista gang in Latin America) in bullying the unarmed nation of Costa Rica. Now, he lashes out at Colombia and prattles about conspiracies.

It is time for the remaining democratic countries in the region to speak up and pressure Ortega to relent.
