Summary of Article: In Costa Rica, Costa Rican officials have made a case that Nicaraguan troops have invaded in their territory. Costa Rica's foreign ministry said the country had filed a lawsuit in the court to end a situation that "threatens imminent and irreparable harm" to Costa Rica. Nicaragua claims that their troops have not been in Costa Rican territory. Even though they were in their land. Costa Ricans have asked Nicaraguan troops to withdraw but a spokesman for Nicaragua's ambassador did not make of any comment of the situation. In addition, Costa Rica claims that the Nicaraguan troops, have been dumping sediment on the side of the border, and that a Costa Rican flag was replaced with a Nicaraguan flag.
Thoughts/Emotions/Observations:
From my observations on the article, I feel that Nicuaragra is making a fool of themselves because of dumping sediment on Costa Rica's borders. I also think that the invasion of the Nicaguran troops was unreasonable and careless.
How it ties to political life:
From the article, it says that it "threatens imminent and irreparable harm" to Costa Rica. How this ties to political life is that it causes tension between countries, and can make people nervous when invaders come in to their country. This is important to Costa Rica.
