Violent anti-government protests pick up in Nicaragua

Another round of protests and violence got underway Monday, May 28, n Nicaragua after students in the Central American aimed to take over the Engineering university.

The demonstrators targeted the pro-government offices of Radio Ya. A thuggish response to weeks of protests has eroded carefully constructed pillars of support in the Church, military and business world for Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega, emboldening calls for the ouster of the former Marxist guerrilla who has dominated politics for decades.
