Nicaragua: Ortega blames 'satanic sect' for uprising against his rule

Nicaragua’s President Daniel Ortega has hit out at what he has claimed is a “murderous, coup-mongering satanic sect” behind a three-month uprising against his rule that has left more than 300 dead. There is growing international consensus that Ortega’s own forces and pro-government militias are responsible for the overwhelming majority of the violence that has gripped Nicaragua since protests erupted in April. Ortega has faced growing international condemnation over the killings in recent days, including from one-time supporters.
