Nicaragua Expels Representatives from the Organization of American States
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nicaragua has withdrawn from the Organization of American States and has
expelled OAS representatives from the country. The OAS says the move is
a "violation of the most basic international norms" and that Nicaragua
cannot leave the organization until 2023. Nicaragua has long accused the
OAS of being a tool for U.S. intervention. This is Nicaragua's foreign
minister.

Denis Moncada: "We ratify our unwavering decision to leave the
Organization of American States, as expressed on November 19, 2021, and
by confirming our irrevocable denunciation and resignation, before this
calamitous, truculent and lying dependency of the State Department of
Yankee imperialism."
