Three speakers who live and work in Nicaragua explain how Nicaragua has implemented such successful, well-integrated poverty-reduction programmes despite unrelenting US attempts to overthrow the government and impose ‘democracy’, US style.

What could the future hold under Trump? In light of the escalation of US threats, international solidarity and unity is critical to ensure that the sovereignty of progressive countries in Latin America such as Nicaragua is defended and maintained.
