- General Ortega Calls for Neutralizing of Armed Groups in Nicaragua
-
- General Humberto Ortega, head of the Nicarguan Army, announced on
- Dec. 22 that the army is preparing to "neutralize" former contras
- and Sandinistas who are still armed or who have taken up weapons
- again, following the killing of a peasant family which was
- presumed to have been done by a rearmed group.
-
- According to official sources there are still about 400 armed
- people who live in as criminals in the countryside, especially in
- the northern part of the country. Ortega met with Cardinal Obando
- y Bravo and with national agricultural business people to discuss
- their needs in terms of the army's operations. Ortega told the
- press that 1993 was vital for the country's interests and called
- for a national concertation. He also asked for greater
- consciousness toward the most economically desperate and seriously
- affected sectors of the society, and asked President Chamorro to
- develop programs for the peasanst, many of whom have joined the
- rearmed groups. (edlp 12/23/92 from AFP)
