Costa Ricans are literally up in arms against its neighbor Nicaragua, charging it with dumping river sediment and clearing forests in protected wetlands that belong to Costa Rica.
The dispute is over a Nicaraguan dredging project in the 120-mile long Rio San Juan.
“We had a guarantee,”claimed vice foreign minister Carlos Roverssi. “They were going to conduct only a small dredging that wouldn’t affect Costa Rican territory. But what happened is a violation of our national sovereignty …that changes the circumstances.”
