Sandinista Soldier in Nicaragua Street art in Jinotega, Nicaragua, shows an armed female soldier of the Sandinista National Liberation Front picking coffee beans in her military camouflage. The Sandinistas overthrew the U.S.-backed dictator Anastasio Somoza in 1979. After their victory, the Socialist Sandinistas ruled Nicaragua until 1990 and then returned to power in 2006.
