Clashes over canal project leave 11 hurt in Nicaragua
Supporters of Nicaragua's President Daniel Ortega wave flags of the Sandinista National Liberation Front
Managua - Arab Today
Federal police and demonstration leaders said that eleven people have been injured in Nicaragua after clashes broke out between police and protesters who oppose the construction of a massive interoceanic canal project in the Central American country, Voice of America reported.
A gigantic canal project extending 280 km from the Caribbean to the Pacific has been met with disapproval by local residents and environmentalists who warn the project will cause damage to Lake Nicaragua, the largest lake in Central America.
Demonstrators had planned to converge Wednesday on Managua, the capital, but canceled the gathering after clashes broke out with riot police the day before in Nueva Guinea, a municipality about 300 km from the capital.
