Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega has decided to break off diplomatic relations with Colombia in response to the governments raid on a FARC rebel camp in Ecuador over the weekend.
“We want to tell you that Nicaragua is in solidarity with the Ecuadorian people and reiterating the right to respect the Hague International Court of Justice’s decision, respect a disagreement between Nicaragua and Colombia, and before the reiterated military threats of the Colombian government, we have decided to break diplomatic relations with Colombia,” said Ortega.
“We are breaking off relations because of the political terrorism being carried out by the government of Alvaro Uribe, not because of the Colombian people.”
Paz, queremos paz y libertad en este mundo.
