Managua, March 23 (RHC)-- The Nicaraguan government, through a statement on the 20th anniversary of the military invasion of Iraq, condemned the actions of the United States against the nations of the world and described them as crimes against humanity.

The communiqué, signed by President Daniel Ortega and Vice President Rosario Murillo, recalled that the invasion of Iraq on March 20, 2003 was unleashed by the US government based on lies and lies, destroying a country that was advancing in scientific development and prosperity for its inhabitants.

They stressed that "in this commemoration of blood, sweat and tears, but also of heroic resistance, we join the free peoples of the world to denounce, reject and condemn the brazenness of the greatest murderers in the recent history of humanity".

The Sandinista government demanded respect for the sovereignty of the countries and the political, social and economic models freely chosen.  In the text, Ortega and Murillo emphasized that "we feel proud of our paths and we know that, evidently, the days of the Yankee empire are numbered". They also warned that peace, hope, certainty, rights, justice and truth are not to be trifled with.

The document pointed out that Washington has no moral authority to speak about anything but itself and its atrocities.
