The regime of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo is asking the United Nations (UN) to let it be part of the search for a solution to the conflict between Israel and Palestine, and as a first measure, it asks that they suspend it from the General Assembly of the UN to the Jewish State for, supposedly, practicing “apartheid” against the Palestinian people.
In an extensive letter, signed by the chancellor of the dictatorship, Valdrack Jaentschke Whitaker, sent to the Secretary General of the UN, Antonio Guterres, the Managua regime reminds him of everything that, they say, they have done to support the Palestinian people and their actions to condemn what they call genocide and occupation of those territories.
The letter begins by pointing out to the senior UN official that they refer to the “Note Verbal DPPA/DPO/MED/2024/01945” on the implementation of General Assembly resolution ES-10/24 entitled “Advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice on the legal consequences arising from Israel’s policies and practices in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and the illegality of Israel’s continued presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.
Furthermore, the dictators assure that they continue to be respectful of international law and “their firm commitment to the Rule of Law at the international level, the search for the long-awaited understanding, peaceful coexistence between Nations and continues to promote the Culture of Peace,” although in Nicaragua they continue escalating repression and causing the forced displacement of thousands of Nicaraguans.
Despite the permanent hate speeches of the dictators Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo, against the political system of the United States, that country was the first to come to the aid of the Nicaraguan regime to try to stop the worrying outbreak of the screwworm that is developing in the country.
As 25 years ago, when Nicaragua was declared a territory free of the cattle screwworm, once again the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service of the United States Department of Agriculture (APHIS) goes to Nicaragua to combat the plague that affects livestock and that, if it spreads, would cause great losses in the production of this important item for the economies of the region.
A team of 16 APHIS scientists are already in Nicaragua to try to stop the possible spread of the screwworm plague, as reported this Monday, November 4, by the US embassy in Managua.

The United States chargé d’affaires in Nicaragua, Kevin Michael O’Reilly, through his official X account warned that “for the first time in decades, the screwworm has reappeared in Central America and threatens livestock farming in the region.”
The viralization of cases of animal abuse – captured in photographs and videos – in the last month has generated serious criticism among the Nicaraguan population against the Ortega-Murillo regime, to which they point out its inability to apply Law 747, Law for the protection and the welfare of domestic animals and domesticated wild animals, approved since 2011.
Legislation 747, although it has been approved for more than 13 years, remains unregulated and its application to violators of it has not been so noticeable in the country.
Biologist Amaru Ruiz, researcher and president of Fundación del Río, explained that said legislation was approved after being promoted precisely by Nicaraguan civil society.
In addition, he mentioned that this establishes that “it is up to the Agricultural Ministry and the Police to apply said legislation, which can act ex officio, that is, directly without any complaint, to arrest any person or entity that is violating the animal protection law.” and is causing some level of physical abuse against any animal.
