Operation Reptil, the execution of Nicaraguan dictator Anastasio Somoza Debayle “Tachito”.
On September 17, 1980, at 10:20 a.m., a little more than a year after July 19, 1979, the triumph of the Sandinista Revolution, the Nicaraguan dictator Anastasio Somoza Debayle “Tachito”, 54 years old, was executed in Paraguay by a group of seven guerrillas who were members of the FSLN (Sandinista National Liberation Front) led by Enrique Gorriarán Merlo, militant and leader of the Revolutionary Workers’ Party and the People’s Revolutionary Army (PRT-ERP).
Operation Reptil was prepared for a year and ended the life of the last tyrant of the Somoza dynasty that had been started in 1937 by his father, Anastasio Somoza García, who ordered the killing of the revolutionary Augusto César Sandino in February 1934.
Coordinadora Simón Bolívar vindicates 44 years after that historic event, Operation Reptil, neither forgiving nor forgetting.
Recovering Historical Memory.
