Daniel OrtegaÕs authoritarian regime has intensified its political crackdown, stripping 94 Nicaraguans of their citizenship, including some of the Central American countryÕs most celebrated writers and journalists, among them Wilfredo Miranda.

The move was announced by a Nicaraguan judge, sparking renewed condemnation of OrtegaÕs Sandinista government, which has been waging a dogged offensive against perceived rivals since June 2021.

222 political prisoners, including some of NicaraguaÕs leading opposition activists, were deported from Nicaragua and flown to the US Ð a move widely interpreted as a sign of OrtegaÕs determination to remain in power after 16 years as president.

NicaraguaÕs government called the deportees, who were also stripped of their citizenship, Òtraitors to the motherlandÓ.

Those deprived of citizenship included the internationally acclaimed novelist Sergio Ram’rez, the poet and writer Gioconda Belli, the investigative journalist Carlos Fernando Chamorro, the auxiliary bishop of NicaraguaÕs capital, Managua, Silvio B‡ez, and Miranda, an award-winning reporter who writes for the Spanish newspaper El Pa’s and the Guardian.

El Pa’sÕs Americas director, Jan Mart’nez Ahrens, called the decision an act of ÒvilenessÓ that exposed NicaraguaÕs Òtotalitarian driftÓ under Ortega, a 77-year-old former revolutionary icon who helped overthrow the Somoza dictatorship in the 1970s.

Belli, who lives in exile in Spain, responded to having her citizenship removed by publishing one of her poems on Twitter:

ÒAnd I love you homeland of my dreams and my sorrows and I will secretly take you to wash off your stains, to whisper you hope and promise you cures and charms that will save you."

Chamorro, 67, who will give this yearÕs Reuters Memorial Lecture in Oxford, said Ortega and his vice-president and wife, Rosario Murillo, had shown Òenormous political weaknessÓ with their actions. ÒIn Nicaragua, everyone knows the only... traitors are Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo. They have demolished democracy.Ó

Human Rights WatchÕs deputy director for the Americas offered a bleak prognosis for NicaraguaÕs political future under Ortega.

ÒThe country is on the verge of becoming the western hemisphereÕs equivalent of North Korea.Ó

Hence it is imperative that Democracy and Human Rights are restored in Nicaragua.

Otherwise an intervention from the NGO Community will be necessary, to restore the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) in Nicaragua.

Not the Fetch-Fest I Hoped For
Color: Orange
I had high hopes for the PetDroid Interactive Dog Ball, especially with the newly upgraded features and promises of durable, motion-activated fun. Unfortunately, it didn’t quite live up to expectations for my furry friend. Here’s why I’m giving it 2 stars. Promising Features, Lackluster Results The idea behind this toy is fantastic: a durable, motion-activated ball that would entertain my dog without much effort on my part. The ball is supposed to roll around on its own, keeping my dog engaged and active. However, in practice, it just didn’t capture my dog’s interest. Durability I will give credit where it’s due: the ball is well-made and seems durable. It can withstand some rough handling, which is great for more aggressive chewers. Unfortunately, durability doesn’t mean much if your dog won’t play with it in the first place. Motion Activation The motion activation feature is hit or miss. While the ball does move around as advertised, it didn’t seem to move in a way that intrigued my dog. He gave it a sniff, watched it for a minute, and then walked away, unimpressed. I tried multiple times to get him interested, but he simply wasn’t having it. Lack of Engagement The biggest issue is that the ball just didn’t engage my dog at all. It might be more suitable for a different personality type or breed, but for my pooch, it was a total flop. He’s usually quite playful and curious, so I was surprised by his lack of interest. Final Thoughts Overall, the PetDroid Interactive Dog Ball might work for some dogs, but it was a miss for mine. If your dog is easily entertained by automated toys, it might be worth a try. However, based on my experience, I can’t wholeheartedly recommend it. Pros: Durable construction Motion-activated as advertised Cons: Did not engage my dog Motion activation wasn’t intriguing enough Might be more suitable for specific dog types or personalities If you decide to give it a shot, just be prepared for the possibility that your dog might not find it as entertaining as you hope. For us, it’s back to the drawing board for a more engaging toy.

Pup Loves It, Some Other Notes
Color: Orange
We've had this for about six months and my 75 lb, 14-month-old German Shepherd pup LOVES IT. Her favorite is "Crazy Bouncing Mode." In fact, she doesn't care much for the normal mode. She chews it a lot - even drops it in her water bowl at times - and it's still going strong. This is a great purchase. It's nice hands-off entertainment. Do know that it is heavy compared to a normal ball - if your pup likes dropping it on the ground like mine does, it will land with a hard "thud," even with the included sleeve. Hopefully you don't have downstairs neighbors. Also know that the cover that goes over the charging port is removable and your dog may choke on it if they chew it in just the right manner. Definitely only let the pup play with it while supervised. All in all, great toy.

Bouncy, not hard, and good value.
Style: Fetch Balls (Pack of 10), Size: 2.5 inch
Great balls for the ball launcher and not rockhard like some of the solid rubber balls. These have great bounce, and because of the two holes, they make a fun whistling noise as they fly through the air. My dogs love them and they are a good value. By the way, if you throw them too hard, they will go through chain-link and no climb fence because they squish a bit!

Excellent dog balls — safe design and very durable
Style: Fetch Balls (Pack of 3), Size: 2.5 inch
These fetch balls from Amazon Basics are fantastic, and my dog absolutely loves them. One of the biggest reasons I prefer these over other brands is the hole that runs through the center of the ball. This is a very important safety feature: if a dog were to accidentally get the ball stuck in the back of the throat, the hole allows air to pass through. That small detail could literally make a life-saving difference. Aside from the safety benefit, they bounce well, are easy to clean, and hold up to a lot of playtime. They’re firm but not rock-hard, and my dog goes crazy for them. Great value, great quality, and a thoughtful design. Highly recommended for dog owners who want a safer alternative to standard solid rubber balls.
