He won a fourth straight term as president last November after jailing opposition candidates, and banning international observers and journalists from the country.

The United States and the European Union imposed new sanctions just before Ortega was sworn in at a ceremony attended by allies including Russia, Venezuela and China.
So what is in store now for one of the poorest nations in Central America?
