NICARAGUA will establish a further 10,000 reconciliation, justice & peace commissions across the country throughout December, Sandinista government official Carlos Emilio Lopez announced yesterday.
Mr Lopez explained that they “will become the social movement, the largest community movement in the history of Nicaragua,” with every region, town and neighbourhood having a commission.
Almost 6,000 peace commissions have already been established in a government drive to heal wounds following last year’s violent right-wing attempted coup.
