NICARAGUA-POLITICS-HISTORY-LOMAS DE TISCAPA-SANDINO
GO WITH A STORY OF AFP IN SPANISH BY FRANCISCO JARA
A girl looks at a armored personnel carrier seized by the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) to dictator Anastasio Somoza during the liberation war in 1979, at the hills of Loma de Tiscapa National Park in Managua, on November 23, 2008. A silhouette of Nicaraguan hero, general Augusto C. Sandino, a guerrilla leader who fought against the US Marine Corps between 1927-1933 dominates the park overlooking Managua, as his Sandinista followers who fought dictator Anastasio Somoza are now confronting each other as Government and opposition. The battle between the Government of President Daniel Ortega and the opposition, most of them once his allies, has been growing since the Supreme Electoral Council last week said Ortega's ruling Sandinista Party had won 105 of the 146 mayoral elections on November 9, which the opposition charged were riddled with fraud.
