Facing rage and bloodshed, Nicaragua's Ortega backtracks on changes

President Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua announced on Sunday that he was reversing a social security overhaul that had prompted days of protests in which up to two dozen people died.

The Nicaraguan leader has faced protests before, but at no point since his 2007 re-election have so many sectors united against him in what has become the greatest test of his presidency.
