It is part of these plans to provoke an open war between Honduras and Nicaragua, a serious threat which we have been denouncing for a long time. On various occasions we have made strong representations to the Government of Honduras concerning the necessity of preventing a growing deterioration of the situation between the two countries so that it does not become a fratricidal conflict, which would spell the doom of our peoples. In protesting energetically against these attacks on the national territory, Nicaragua appeals to the Government of Honduras to show good sense and moderation at the same time as it de.mands the cessation of all acts of aggression and intervention against our country by the armed forces of Honduras. 86 ANNEX III Official communique or the Ministry or Defence or the Republic of Nicaragua Issued on 23 March 1983 The Public and External Relations Section of the Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Nicaragua reports the following: I.
