Ortega Extols Dead FARC
Leader
Nicaragua's president
offers his condolence
over the death of the
FARC leader, calling him
"our brother" in the
fight against injustice.
Daniel Ortega,
addressing a gathering
of Latin American
leftist parties and
organizations in Uruguay
Sunday, praised
Colombian guerrilla
commander Manuel
Marulanda, who the FARC
confirmed died in March
of a heart attack.
Ortega called Marulanda
an extraordinary fighter
who struggled for
decades to reverse what
he called profound
inequalities.
The Nicaraguan president
urged attendees at the
Sao Paulo Forum to
topple "the tyranny of
global capitalism," and
accused Washington and
Europe of being
terrorists who kill with
economic policies. |
