In 1979 the Nicaraguan people, under the leadership of the Sandinista Front for National Liberation, had overthrown the Somoza dictatorship. Many Christians had participated in various ways in the struggle for liberation and continued to take part in the programs of the revolutionary government.
During the 1980s the Sandinista Revolutionary Government, which included three priests in the cabinet, sought to move Nicaragua in a socialist direction but had to concentrate resources on defending the country and the revolution against the US-supported counter-revolutionaries (Contras).
In early 1990, Daniel Ortega was defeated at the polls by a broad coalition which had Violeta Chamorro as its candidate.
Julius Nyerere (1922 - 1999) was a Tanzanian anti-colonial activist, politician, and political theorist. He governed Tanganyika as Prime Minister from 1961 to 1962 and then as President from 1963 to 1964, after which he led its successor state, Tanzania, as President from 1964 to 1985.
Ideologically an African nationalist and African socialist, he promoted a political philosophy known as Ujamaa.
