about a man (no sexism)

In Matagalpa where I am right now Ben Linder is buried,
a U.S. internacionalista killed by U.S. sponsored contras.
In the town of San Jose de Bocay where he was killed there's now a neighbourhood called Barrio Ben Linder.
Ha, and tomorrow I go to seaport Corinto which was destroyed, also by the U.S.

As we came to the country to work for a week, the next day after Daniel Ortega was announced president, as soon as we got off the bus one peasant jokingly said to another:
Mira, solo ganó Daniel y ya vienen los cheles
Look, Daniel just won and the whites are already coming.

When snadinistas first came to power there have been a lot of cheles (whites) working in solidarity, and people remember this and expect this to happen again.

and, 2 of recent snaps.
