Over 1,500 Nicaraguan police and pro-government paramilitary forces swarmed Masaya's indigenous Monimbó neighborhood at dawn yesterday in a battler that lasted over five hours. It was the last rebel bastion in the city that has been at the fore of protests against President Daniel Ortega's government. It's the first time since mid-April that government forces recovered control of Monimbo, and heavy machinery was used to clear citizen barricades.
