Mexico City,
\nIn the grainy, night-time video, journalist Angel Gahona, clad in jeans and a blue shirt, holds up a cellphone and narrates as he approaches the facade of city hall<\/p>\n
in Bluefields, Nicaragua, reporting live via Facebook on protests that have rocked the Central American nation for four days.<\/p>\n
Seconds later a gunshot rings out and Gahona slumps lifeless to the curb. Voices cry his name and someone presses a piece of cloth to his head to try to<\/p>\n
staunch the stream of blood. Another Bluefields reporter, Ileana Lacayo, confirms that he died before reaching the hospital.<\/p>\n
Besides Gahona at least 25 others have been killed since Wednesday in unrest over social security reforms planned by President Daniel Ortega\u2019s government,<\/p>\n
according to a human rights group. Dozens more have been injured or arrested. Ortega said Saturday in his first public appearance since the demonstrations<\/p>\n
began that his government is willing to enter into talks over the dispute.<\/p>\n
In a nationally televised address, he said he is open to negotiations so that there is \u201cno more terror for Nicaraguan families.\u201d But he said the dialogue would be<\/p>\n
just with business leaders and not with other sectors of society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
