Lmao, Al jazeera is also banned in Nicaragua. Also funny how the article claims that the "crackdown" is because the NGOs failed to disclose where their donations came from (sus) and fails to actually counter this idea, not even a "[the cia] has confirmed that this is not true".

That leaves you with an article where the spin is harshly negative, but the facts reported support the government. This is the kind of cognitive dissonance you get when you defend the arts and stuff newspapers with failed novelists.

It is funny how they spin something good as bad.

I think what's funnier is that they haven't even tried in this case. They just threw around the bad and scary words and expect your conditioning to do the rest.

Worked for everything else, haven't it?

I find it hilarious how they struggle to spin forcing NGOs to disclose their sources of funding as something nefarious.

This is incredible news!! I can imagine more countries following suit with this. This type of actions will reduce the power of USAID to finance hostile anti gov't groups

The way the west started flipping out when Georgia passed the law that requires NGOs to disclose funding was incredibly revealing.

At last! Good news.

So an NGO is a foreign business?

So just to clarify, McDonalds in the USA is not an NGO, but elsewhere it is?

[-] redtea@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 month ago

I doubt it. What makes you suggest McDonald's?

I mean private businesses are by definition non-governmental organisations.
