The governments of Costa Rica and Nicaragua are engaged in a diplomatic spat following the August 12 death of Henry Ruiz López in northern Costa Rica.Â
More than 60,000 people have fled the crisis in Nicaragua over the past year, the UN said Tuesday, with neighboring Costa Rica bearing the brunt of the refugee flow.Â
Nicaragua's government agreed on Wednesday to release opposition prisoners within 90 days in order to restart stalled peace talks aimed at ending an 11-month political crisis, a dialogue mediator said.
