Not a technicality. Many of the Contras had no connection to Somoza or his national guard. Enrique Bermúdez was a former National Guard officer but other leaders where businessmen and one of the major leaders was a former Sandanista. Other enemys of the Sandanistas came from the Miskito, Sumu and Rama Amerindian peoples in the South or along the coast "A second front in the war opened with the creation in Costa Rica in April 1982 of the Democratic Revolutionary Alliance (ARDE) and its armed wing, the Sandino Revolutionary Front (FRS), by Edén Pastora (Comandante Cero), former Sandinista hero of the August 1978 seizure of Somoza's palace. ARDE was formed by Sandinista dissidents and veterans of the anti-Somoza campaign who opposed the increased influence of Cuban officials in the Managua regime. Proclaiming his ideological distance from the FDN, Pastora nevertheless styled his force the "southern front" in a common campaign." en.wikipedia.org
