In Nicaragua, a man and his wife are the leaders. They have a lot of power. The man is the president, and his wife is the co-president. They work together to rule the country.
Many years ago, they were not the leaders. Another man, a dictator, was in control. The president and his friends fought to remove the dictator. They wanted a better country for their people.
Now, things are different. The president and his wife are arresting their old friends. These are the same people who helped them. The leaders want to make sure only their family stays in power. They are afraid of losing control.
