Talk:2018–2022 Nicaraguan protests

Update

Can somebody update the article with 2019 events or at least give a summary. We are trying to figure out Nicaragua's time-frame in 2019 Latin American protests--MaoGo (talk) 13:32, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

Basically, after the Special Investigators came through and arrested the local ringleaders in various places, protests were very scattered, with some religious processions, which were allowed, having a flavor of being opposition protests under the religious cover. The move to restrict some priests has brought out some protestors, but what people have posted on social media, these look fairly tranquil. Some sources said that parishioners in some areas weren't going to Mass because they were FSLN and their priests had been involved in opposition attacks on FSLN supporters. Trying to claim the same intensity as spring and early summer 2018 is not true. I don't remember anything happening in 2019 similar to what happened in 2018.

As for people involved who were supporting the FSLN government, the cops who wear short sleeved light blue shirts are the regular police. Both riot police and the Special Investigators wear long sleeved black uniforms. Special Investigators are generally not armed with rifles, but are often accompanied by a riot cop with an automatic rifle.

Both side had irregulars, civilian volunteers. Rumor was that these were paid by one side or the other. They mostly carried mortaros, but some had pistols or rifles on both sides. The FSLN supporters had colors of the day to avoid shooting each other. MizOre (talk) 02:06, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

"Protests against Daniel Ortega" listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect Protests against Daniel Ortega and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 November 4#Protests against Daniel Ortega until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

I'll kill the redirect. However, the typical way of dealing with a need to move an article but a redirect is blocking it, is to put in a request at WP:RM/TR. - UtherSRG (talk) 21:56, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

@UtherSRG: Ohh understood! Thanks again! --NoonIcarus (talk) 22:16, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

Merge - The wave of protests in 2018 is distinct from those that happened over the proposal to construct the Nicaragua Canal and sporadic demonstrations in years afterwards, including in scale and in violence. I have split the content of the article into the specific 2018 Nicaraguan protests and Timeline of the 2020 Nicaraguan protests, but a merge can help to organize the information in a better way and offer a better context to the reader. A similar article, Protests against Nicolás Maduro, also exists, which I recently moved.

• Comment: I'm usually against merging articles about well differentiated periods of protests in a country just because they are against the same Government. This sometimes leads to conflation of unrelated protests with different actors, causes, etc. I haven't caught up with recent Nicaraguan protests though, so I can't offer an informed opinion on whether there are well differentiated periods here. I'm not opposed to this merge on principle, but I'd caution about the risk of the kind of conflation/simplification I mentioned. MarioGom (talk) 16:06, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

• Merge: agree with proposer that this article’s scope encompasses events that are not distinct. The proposal would solve this issue. Mottezen (talk) 09:15, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

Merge I agree with the proposer as well. I think that you should open this same proposition in eswiki if it's in the same situation as here. 2x2leax (talk) 02:24, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
