Evan Ellis: “Nicaragua: Dictatorship and Collaboration with Extra-Hemispheric U.S. Rivals”
Dear Colleague,
I am proud to share my newest article, “Nicaragua: Dictatorship and Collaboration with Extra-Hemispheric U.S. Rivals,” just published by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), at which I am honored to be a Senior Non-Resident Fellow. I am also pleased to share the Spanish-language version, translated and adapted and re-published by the respected Argentine journal, InfoBAE (my sincere thanks to the teams at both institutions for their efforts).
This work looks at how the Sandinista regime of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo in Nicaragua has further clamped down on dissent and consolidated power since the rigged November 2021 Presidential elections, and how it is increasingly serving as an entry-point for expanded activity in the region by Russia, Iran, and the PRC.
The article is available here for download in English:

It is also available in english, through CSIS, which published it:
