An interesting situation occurred in relationship between Costa Rica and Nicaragua. Apparently Nicaragua’s army invaded a small part of Costa Rica near the border between the countries and demanded that it is Nicaraguan territory. The Nicaraguan president is a friend of Mr. Hugo Chavez, the president of Venezuela. Together they are pursuing the idea of creating a second “Panama canal” on the territory of Nicaragua and this small part of Costa Rica is a very valuable piece for them.

Costa Rica has no army and obviously saving a lot of money because of that. Therefore, it makes it almost impossible to defend the territory. There were policemen sent to the invaded territory but there is not much they can do against a well-trained army. At the same time Nicaragua is destroying Costa Rican rain forests. There was a letter sent to United Nations but it may take years before this organization actually decides anything about this matter.

Columbia, on the other hand, is willing to send their own troops to Costa Rica and help them out as Columbian and Venezuelan presidents do not like each other… What a base for a nice Latin America soap opera !!!
