I believe that the Nicaraguan government should take the Guanacaste province dispute to court so that they can reveal that facts to the world and put and end to all of this back and forth argument.
by the way I hope Nicaragua gains back its territories .

If Costa Rica was smart, they would consider creating something more than the “Rural Guards” in their provinces. Keep it on the down low but it looks as though the Sandista thugs will just keep on pushing if they feel that Costa Rica only will respond with words and international protests. A small, well trained, armed militia might not be a bad idea. I hate to suggest it because of Costa Rica’s abolishing of the military in 1948 but with the way Nicaragua is acting these days, vigilance is only wise. The USA with our current joke of a president probably will end up supporting Nicaragua if they try anything crazy like invading or attacking Costa Rica.

Ryan, thanks for catching that. It was actually intended to be ‘exploration’ – I’ll see if we can’t get someone to correct that.

A bit too opinionated if you really meant to say “offshore oil exploitation”. Please revise it to say “exploration” or it is not worth linking to.

Maybe we should just give it back to him. Surely they can control crime better than CR can in the area.

a drama queen. Hahaha. Does that mean he’s gay? Is there such a term as “drama king?” There should be because I’ve met a lot of men here who qualify. You’re right … smoke screens to divert attention from what these guys do in the background.

Daniel Ortega is delirious and Enrique Castillo is a drama queen. This is a story about nothing. Sounds like they’re in cahoots to divert attention off of each other’s governments.
