Nicaragua
The pieces are starting to fall into place for the election race
Nicaragua’s ruling couple knows it will be
voted out of office if the elections are free and fair.
And under the current rules, which are anything but that,
the blue and white opposition knows its only shot at winning
is by uniting around a single candidate with a massive turnout.
With only six months and counting before election day,
each side is still putting pieces into place.

Loma Verde: Through our own looking glass
Latin America is one of the most unequal regions on Earth,
and Central America today, 200 years after its independence,
