contras
Counterrevolutionary force that sought to overthrow Nicaragua's Sandinista government. The original contras had been National Guardsmen during the regime of Anastasio Somoza (see Somoza family). The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency played a key role in training and funding the group, whose terrorist tactics were decried by the international human-rights community. In 1984 the U.S. Congress banned military aid to the contras; the R. Reagan administration's efforts to circumvent the ban led to the Iran-Contra Affair. A general peace in the region was negotiated by O. Arias, and in 1990 Pres. V. Chamorro negotiated the contras' demobilization. See also D. Ortega.
