Nicaragua’s advancing totalitarianism parallels what occurred in Venezuela according to UN Ambassador Nikki Haley.

At a recent UN Security Council Meeting she said Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega “are cut from the same corrupt cloth. They are both students of the same failed ideology. And they are both dictators who live in fear of their own people.”

Ortega is guilty of “killing, detaining, and brutalizing anyone who dares to oppose him” Haley noted. Citing figures from the Nicaraguan Association for Human Rights, she said that “over 448 people have been killed” and more than “2,000 have been injured.”

“The Ortega regime has long controlled the media by ensuring that television and radio stations are in the hands of family, friends, and corrupt allies,” Haley noted. And the Nicaraguan ruler installed his wife as Vice President, “banned opposition parties and rigged the Nicaraguan constitution to allow him three uninterrupted five-year terms,” and “is attempting to destroy the most respected institution that is rightfully standing up for the Nicaraguan people: the Catholic Church,” Haley said.

Many have already fled Nicaragua according to Haley: “Over 25,000 Nicaraguans have migrated to Costa Rica since the start of the crisis, with Honduras, Panama, and Mexico also receiving Nicaraguan migrants and asylum seekers.”
