Nicaragua's authoritarian president, Daniel Ortega, has offered his Venezuelan counterpart Nicolás Maduro to send "fighters" to the country as tensions remain high in the latter amid the fallout following its botched presidential elections.
Speaking at a virtual summit, Ortega reiterated his support of Maduro and made the offer in case of an "armed counterrevolution." He said that if "battle were to come, they (the Maduro government) will have Sandinista fighters accompanying them," in reference to the movement he claims to lead.
