Violence in Nicaragua after Ortega election victory

There have been violent clashes in Nicaragua between supporters and opponents of President Daniel Ortega, following his disputed reelection on Sunday. The main opposition candidate - Fabio Gadea - has denounced the election result as fraud and European Union election observers have questioned the transparency of the vote and the independence of the electoral authorities. As a result, at least four people have been shot dead in the north of the country.
