Indigenous Wars - Nicaragua January 1998 An excellent report that addresses the uncertain future for indigenous Nicaraguans as they fight against their own government and people. An 80% unemployment rate and commercialisation of the Mosquito coast has encouraged a growing trade in Crack cocaine. On a tour of the Ghettos of 'Little Miami', multitudes of brothels, crack dens and bars line the streets. The Nicaraguan government is unsympathetic to the natives pleas for land titles and autonomy of the Atlantic coast. In a desperate attempt to hold on to what is, traditionally, their land; a group of natives, the Miskit Indians, has taken up arms against the government. The authorities respond aggressively with the planting of land mines, a step contrary to an international convention, of which Nicaragua is a signatory.

Managua (Nicaragua) Leal Villa de Santiago de Managua, nombre con el que fue fundada, o simplemente Managua, es la actual capital de Nicaragua, ubicada en Centroamérica entre Costa Rica y Honduras. Cuenta con unos 1,817,096 habitantes (2004)en su área metropolitana, lo cual hace que sea considerada como la cuarta ciudad más poblada de América Central, después de Ciudad de Guatemala, San Salvador y San José de Costa Rica. Managua is the capital city of Nicaragua as well as the department and municipality by the same name. It is located on the southwestern shore of Lake Managua. The city was declared the national capital in 1852.[2] Previously, the capital had alternated between the cities of León and Granada. The city has a population of about 1,680,100 composed predominantly of Spanish-speaking creoles and mestizos. Founded in 1819 and given the name of Leal Villa de Santiago de Managua, the city began life as a rural fishing village.[3] Efforts to make Managua the capital of Nicaragua began in 1824, soon after the Central American nations became independent from Spain. Managua's location between the rival cities of León and Granada made it an ideal compromise site. The city has been witness to the rise and fall of political powers throughout Nicaragua's history, and has suffered two devastating earthquakes over the course of the 20th century. Managua est la capitale du Nicaragua et du département du même nom, situé près de l'océan Pacifique. Le nom de Managua vient de Mana-ahuac, qui signifie "proche de l'eau" ou "entourée d'eau" en langue Nahuatl. La ville s'élève aujourd'hui sur une zone habitée par les tribues indiennes des siècles avant la conquête espagnole de l'Amérique centrale au XVIe siècle. Ce ne fut qu'en 1857, après que Granada n'ait été détruite par une armée de mercenaires américains menés par William Walker, que la capitale du pays fut établie à Managua. Entre 1852 et 1930 Managua connue une importante phase d'urbanisation, devenant un centre de gouvernement, d'infrastructures et de services. La ville subit d'importantes inondations en 1876 et 1885 ainsi qu'un tremblement de terre meurtrier en 1931, qui détruisit une grande partie de la ville. Sous le règne du dictateur Anastasio Somoza García et de sa famille (1936 - 1979), elle s'agrandit rapidement. De nouveaux bâtiments gouvernementaux furent érigés, l'industrie développée, et une université construite; Managua devint la ville la plus développée d'Amérique centrale. Malheureusement, la ville subit un deuxième tremblement de terre majeur le 23 décembre 1972, qui détruisit à nouveau une grande partie de la ville. Bien qu'elle fut reconstruite rapidement, elle ne retrouva jamais son statut passé. Le tremblement de terre incitant de nombreux habitants de Managua à aller s'établir en banlieue, et par peur d'un nouveau tremblement de terre, le centre-ville ne fut jamais entièrement reconstruit.

Democracia en Nicaragua Tras el triunfo de la Sra. Violeta Barrios de Chamorro en las elecciones de 1990, Nicaragua comenzó su transición hacia la democracia. Inicialmente fue un proceso sumamente dificil por la falta de respeto al gobierno y problemas creados por los sandinistas. Tras varios años de gobierno se fue fomentando más una verdadera democracia. Aunque esto fue manchado por corrupción y manipulaciónes de ciertos dirigentes de los partidos FSLN y PLC, cuyos caudillos eran Daniel Ortega y Arnoldo Alemán respectivamente. Al Ing. Enríque Bolaños se le hizo dificil poder gobernar y lograr aún más en su gobierno, por las limitaciones que les impusieron miembros del FSLN y PLC contra su gobierno en el denominado Pacto Ortega-Alemán. A pesar de esto varios logros sí han podido concretarse, como ha sido la estabilidad macroeconómica, la duplicación de las exportaciones nicaragüenses al igual del presupuesto general de la república. Además de la creación de un puerto en la Costa Atlántica, y la unificación de la misma por medio de carreteras. Incluso logró el mejoramiento de la imagen del país, su clima de negocios, y la condonación de 80% de la deuda externa. Tags: nicaragua democracia sandinista bolaños chamorro |

Masaya volcano & mercado Ernesto Fernandez (Nicaragua) Masaya Volcano Masaya is the most active volcano in the region. It is actually made up of two volcanoes; Masaya and Nindiri with a total of five craters. The Spanish first described the volcano in 1524. Since then, Masaya has erupted at least 19 times. From 1965 to 1979 Masaya contained an active lava lake. The last reported eruption event at Volcan de Masaya was in 2003, when a plume reportedly shot ~4.6km into the air. Masaya is an unusual basaltic volcano because it has had explosive eruptions. The eruption in 4550 B.C. was one of the largest on Earth in the last 10,000 years. Masaya, called the City of Flowers, is the capital city of the Masaya department of Nicaragua. It is situated approximately 14 km north of Granada and 17 km south from Managua. The town of Masaya is situated just South of the Masaya volcano (Volcan de Masaya), an active Volcano from which the city takes its name. The 2005 population estimate was 146,000. Masaya is located centrally to a large agricultural production region in Nicaragua. Much of the production from the departments of Masaya and Carazo and the surrounding areas is shipped through Masaya on its way north, towards Managua and Leon. Masaya is also a notable industrial center, producing footwear and clothing. Other industries in the city include the processing of fiber and the manufacture of cigars, leather products, soap, and starch. Many of the communities surrounding Masaya produce hardwood and wicker furniture, and there is a neighborhood in Masaya near the lake dedicated to the production of hammocks. Masaya is known as "The Cradle of Nicaraguan Folklore" and is the very heart of Nicaraguan handicrafts. The main market in Masaya and is located next to the central bus station. The market is divided into sections, with each section serving a different need. Aside from unique Nicaraguan products such as hand woven hammocks, embroidered blouses, wood carvings, and hemp weaving the market is very diverse. An entire section of the market is dedicated to selling electronic devices and clothing, while another area is reserved for raw meat. Everything is available in the market from hardware and beauty supplies to produce from the surrounding area. The Mercardo de Artesanias (Craft Market) is located inside what used to be the "mercado viejo" (old market), a 1900s structure that is located near the center of the city and a couple of blocks away from the general population market. These market has been revitalized and set as a tourist spot, where crafts from Masaya and other areas of Nicaragua can be found. In addition, every thursday night there is a Noche de Verbena or Night of Revelry, where folkloric dances are presented and nicaraguan food is available for a very reasonable price (~ $1 - $2, depending on the entertainment). Masaya is noted for the annual fall fiesta of San Jerónimo, which is rooted in the Roman Catholic faith of the people who celebrate their patron saint, San Jerónimo. Although many people, including some Nicaraguans, may consider this event a cultural event without participating in the religious content, the vast majority are rendering their devotion to their saint when they participate in the folkloric dances and other street processions, such as the carnivalesque "Torovenado" celebrations, which often have groups and individuals who perform satires of local and national political figures. This celebration is famous within the country to the extensiveness (~ 3 months) and richness of folkloric elements. The historical city center has open plazas and two large 16th Century baroque architecture churches. 08.2007 VALPARD FILMS http://valpardfilms.free.fr Tags: Masaya volcano mercado market ernesto fernandez Nicaragua نيكاراجوا निकारागुआ ニカラグア 니카라과 尼加拉瓜 |
