Yes, it was. The Contras were the guys in power before the Sandinistas took over.

I imagine Edén Pastora would be surprised to here that he was in power when Somoza was a dictator.

Nonetheless, it was the Sandinistas and not the Contras who introduced free elections. And yet Reagan supported the Contras.

The pressure from the Contras helped create the environment for the free elections.
