Daniel Ortega is on the verge of winning the Presidential election for Nicaragua. International observers that include Jimmy Carter announced that the election was conducted fairly.
The American embassy on the other hand said it has received report of anomalies. They also announced that American aid to Nicaragua would be reduced substantially if Ortega eventually win the election.
Sandinistas, the party of Ortega, was the leading force that topple the dictatorial Somoza dynasty in 1979. However US under Reagan was fearful of the rise of leftist Sandinastas, and armed the Contras to fight them. The resulting war and conflict that ousted the Ortega government had caused great sufferings to the people of Nicaragua. It was all done by the American in the name of regime change and spreading democracy.
