On November 7th, the people of Nicaragua went to the polls to reaffirm the commitment to their democratic project, a project that began in 1979 when the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) defeated (the) a vicious regime of Anastasio Somoza that was put in power by the United States only to have those efforts reversed by a U.S. imposed counterrevolutionary war that resulted in the electoral defeat of the FSLN in 1990.

With the return of the FSLN to power in 2007, it once again became a target for U.S. aggression and electoral subversion. The U.S. and its European allies questioned the legitimacy of the FSLN despite its overwhelming electoral victories that the U.S. characterized as fraudulent.

Ahead of the Nicaragua Election, The Black Alliance for Peace deployed an Observatory Committee to travel to Nicaragua in an effort to provide keen oversight into the electoral process and clear the pathway for the people of Nicaragua to establish a more sovereign, self-disciplined democratic process, devoid of U.S. interference.

Both Netfa Freeman and Margaret Kimberley, Co-Coordinator(s) of Africa Team and Coordinating Committee member have accompanied the Nicaragua Delegation as well and will be readily available for press inquiries beginning November 9, 2021, 1pm – 6pm EST.
