Nicaragua’s proposed interoceanic canal: Many more questions than answers
The 15 international scientific experts who met
with 7 Nicaraguan colleagues on November 10-11
in Nicaragua to engage in an interdisciplinary discussion
to contribute to the debate on the scientific and technical
issues raised by the interoceanic canal project

We offer here their final document,

Who’s afraid of the Latino vote?
The migration reprieve Obama announced in November
suspends deportation of over 5.2 million people,
some 850,000 of them Central Americans.
But his measures left out well more than half
of the undocumented migrants in the US.
What will happen afterwards?
