The Smoking Gun: Recent Revelations about U.S. Destabilization Efforts in Nicaragua

Having already resumed illegal unilateral coercive measures attacking Nicaragua’s economy, the US government is now openly supplementing its economic aggression with a program intended not just to supplant Nicaragua’s Sandinista government but ultimately to destroy Sandinismo as a viable political movement. They want to turn Nicaragua into Bolivia (where a US-supported 2019 coup forced the elected president into exile). On July 31 Managua’s Radio La Primerísima revealed the contents of a USAID document with details of this next (or probably already begun) US government effort at regime change. The document outlines the main elements of a program called Responsive Assistance in Nicaragua (RAIN).

Join this webinar where our distinguished panelists will be discussing the RAIN document, as well previous efforts at destabilizing the Nicaraguan economy and disrupting fair elections.
