Sandinista founder to be named Nicaragua's ambassador to Peru
The General Vice Secretary from Nicaragua's Sandinista National Liberation Movement (FSLN in Spanish), Tomas Borge, will be named Nicaragua's new Ambassador to Peru.

According to Nicaragua's Ministry of Foreign Relations, Borge (76), who is also the only surviving founder of the Central American Sandinista group, was given the OK by Peruvian President Alan Garcia to represent his country in Peru.

Borge, who was formerly Nicaragua's Interior Minister in the 80's, is expected to be sworn in during the next several days.

Borge's wife, who fled Nicaragua after growing tired of the constant harassment from other Nicaraguan political parties, has been in living in Peru since the beginning of 2006.
