Contra Attacks in Nicaragua
How can Bosco Matamoros speak of “civil war” in Nicaragua, when after all these years the contras hold no territory inside Nicaragua, but instead must operate from bases across the border (having driven Honduran farmers from their land)?
And for how many years can you call these contra attacks “civil war,” when they are sustained by U.S. arms, training, and intelligence? This is a war of aggression by the United States against a small country that has audaciously chosen not to be dominated by a powerful neighbor to the north.
