Historias Unknown

The US Invasion of Panama


Listen Later

On December 20, 1989 the United States launched Operation Just Cause, invading Panama, under the guise of capturing dictator Manuel Noriega. This invasion is often told from the US perspective, and the suffering of Panamians is overlooked and minimized. To this day, the number of Panamanians that lost their lives from this invasion is still unknown, but the numbers range from 500 to 5000.

On today's episode, Carmen tells Cristina about the US invasion of Panama.
