Truce made after weeks of deadly violence in Nicaragua
NICARAGUA–The government and opposition groups have agreed a ceasefire after weeks of violence that has left about 170 people dead.
A truth commission will also be established and international investigators allowed into the country.
Friday’ s peace talks in Managua were brokered by the Roman Catholic Church.
The protests began on 19 April after President Daniel Ortega’s government imposed cuts to pension and social security programs.
The cuts were later scrapped but the protests evolved into a rejection of the Ortega government, and thousands of people have since taken to the streets.
