Nicaraguans Protest Water
Shortage
Nicaragua's capital residents
began street protests on Tuesday
due to the repeated cuts of
water supply which is affecting
great part of this Central
American country.
Tens of people from Managua's
Tenderí, Santa Rosa, and Bello
Horizonte neighbourhoods, among
others, went to the streets with
vats and hoses on Tuesday to
demonstrate against the water
supply cuts.
A big group of demonstrators
gathered to protest in front of
Nicaragua's Aqueduct and Sewer
System Company, which admitted
this week that the water supply
had been reduced to 20 million
gallons
According to a local television
channel, additional police
forces were mobilized to calm
the population and prevent
bigger protests in localities in
the east of Managua capital.
The water supply cuts are caused
by the serious energy crisis
that has been hitting the
Central American country.
