While Neighbors Struggle With Coronavirus, Nicaragua Emerges as Model
In this segment of By Any Means Necessary, hosts Sean Blackmon and Jacquie Luqman are joined by Council on Hemispheric Affairs writer John Perry to talk about the unique challenges countries in the Global South face when attempting to implement shelter-in-place policies without gutting the informal economy, why Nicaragua's COVID-19 response has been so much more effective than its right-wing neighbors despite a lack of governmental physical distancing enforcement, and why the mainstream media and human rights industry continue to prioritize the voices of the far-right Nicaraguan opposition long after their failed 2018 coup attempt.
