That woman in the picture above is Edipcia Dubón. She is an interesting, brave, and touching person. She is a Nicaraguan, born in the Sandinista 1980s. She, her father, and other relatives had great hopes for the Sandinistas. So did many other Nicaraguans. But the Sandinistas turned out to be another dictatorship, which Nicaraguans were all too used to, in their sad, unfree history.
In 1990, Nicaragua held a free election, thanks to U.S. and U.N. pressure, and voters chose Violeta Chamorro as president. Hers was the first democratic government in Nicaragua ever. The country enjoyed a hiatus — a hiatus from dictatorship for 16 years (under three different presidents, including Chamorro).
