US Imposes Visa Bans on Nicaraguan Officials

Establishment-critical narrative

U.S. sanctions on Nicaragua are just the latest chapter in a centuries-long imperial playbook — the same government that backed Contra death squads and ignored an ICJ ruling ordering it to pay reparations is now posturing as a human rights champion. The U.N. bodies driving this pressure ironically rely on U.S.-funded operatives like Felix Maradiaga, who helped organize the 2018 violence, while ignoring victims like Reynaldo Urbina. This is a brazen attempt at regime change.
