(Reuters) -Nicaragua has recalled its ambassadors to Mexico, Argentina, Colombia and Costa Rica for "consultations," the government said on Monday, deepening the Central American country's international isolation over its crackdowns on the opposition.

The recall comes after similar moves by the four countries against Nicaragua, the government of President Daniel Ortega said in a statement broadcast by state media.
