Nicaragua Rejects
Colombian State
Terrorism
Nicaragua accused
Colombia Tuesday of
practicing state
terrorism and warned on
a possible attack
ordered by Colombian
President Alvaro Uribe
against two Colombian
sheltered people in
Nicaragua.
Nicaraguan Ambassador to
the Organization of
American States Denis
Moncada said the
government of Bogota, as
a good student of the US
government, is applying
state terrorism in the
region.
Moncada mentioned the
words of Nicaraguan
President Daniel Ortega,
who expressed his
concern for the life of
the Colombian refugees
in Nicaragua.
These women were wounded
in an attack of the
Colombian Army to a camp
of the Colombia
Revolutionary Armed
Forces (FARC) in
Ecuadorian national
territory, on March 1st.
“The incursion was an
international crime,
because it violated
another country’s
sovereignty,” said the
Nicaraguan diplomat.
“Our government was
based on humanitarian
rights, national laws
and international to
give shelter to those
people,” Moncada said,
and reminded that the
Colombian refugees were
not regarded as
criminals or terrorists
at any moment.
“We have the right to
grant shelter to
political prosecuted
people, which is why
President Ortega
requested the Colombian
President not to use
force against those
people,” said the
Nicaraguan diplomat.
Minutes before,
Colombian Ambassador to
OAS Camilo Ospina said
Managua is supporting
FARC.
