" T h e whole population partici pated in the insurrection and they remember it vividly. Managua was taken by 22s and .31a. Matagalpa was taken by 13- and 16 -year-olds in what became known as the ‘chil dren’s insurrection.’ In Masaya, Indians fought and won against the National Ouard with machetes.” N ow , he said, "th e repression is gone, the fear is gone, and people can speak.” Protecting the revolution with military preparedness is a big priori ty now, he said.
