Contras

Contras

Contras - anti-government, anti-communist guerrilla and terrorist organization fighting in Nicaragua against the reforms introduced by the sandinists and their allies. Illegally supported by the US, they had their base in Honduras and Costa Rica. In their actions, Contras attacked not only the sandinists, but also the civilian population. The name Contras is an acronym for the Spanish word contrarevolucionario. Contras – antyrządowa, antykomunistyczna partyzantka i organizacja terrorystyczna walcząca w Nikaragui przeciwko reformom, które wprowadzali sandiniści i ich sojusznicy. Wspierani nielegalnie przez USA mieli swoje bazy w Hondurasie i Kostaryce. W swoich działaniach Contras atakowali nie tylko samych sandinistów, ale i sprzyjającą im ludność cywilną. Nazwa Contras jest skrótem hiszpańskiego słowa contrarevolucionario.
