Quotes
- "Without the United States, there simply would not have been an armed uprising in our country." — Daniel Ortega
- "My purpose in fighting the Sandinista Front at that time was not to wage war against them but to convey to the Sandinista government the message that the peasants and many other Nicaraguans did not agree with [the introduction of] new things which were alien to the way of life that we knew, and that if what they were trying to do was to implant a totalitarian communist regime, well, we weren't going to agree to that. And that's how we began the struggle." — Oscar Manuel Solbavarro, on why he joined the Contras against the SandinistasCNN: Interviews: Oscar Solbavarro
