Humberto Ortega
Humberto Ortega was a prominent Nicaraguan general and a key figure in the Sandinista revolution, serving as the chief of the Nicaraguan Army from 1979 to 1990. He is the brother of current Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega and played a crucial role in the military strategy during the revolution against the Somoza dictatorship.
