Nicaragua

No path ahead
No words better describe the political scene this hot and steamy Nicaraguan summer than those of Rubén Darío—”No path ahead”— from “Lo fatal” (Fatalism), his most dramatic poem. We don’t know how November’s elections will unfold much less what might happen afterward... We don’t even know if there will be elections.
