Nicaragua's canal--More than one way of being right
The Wales Nicaragua Solidarity Committee, Wales Nicaragua Cymru, has posted a balanced report on the proposed Nicaraguan interoceanic shipping canal on their web page. The report is based on their recent trip to Nicaragua.
Nicaragua’s canal – More than one way of being right
February 23, 2015
On our recent visit to Nicaragua we organised a series of meetings to try to gauge opinion and gather information about the Interoceanic Canal. We also brought up the issue with many we met, both formally and informally, to try to get as broad a picture as possible. The canal has received a lot of attention in the international press. Most of this has been unrelentingly negative.
