  • This video explores the basics of Panamanian history and politics to explain how its location shaped much of its history. It explains how and why it gained independence from Spain and later from Colombia, how the Panama Canal was constructed. It goes through the rule of Omar Torrijos, Manuel Noriega and ends with the current President Laurentino Cortizo.

      In the 80s two of the best if not the best two Panamenia National Basketball tean came to play in the Puertorrican basketball leage, at this time Puerto Rico was the third best team in las Americas next tou US and Brazil, Mario Butler and Rolando Frasier they are our adopted sons from Panama, also I think there's a Boricua adopted as Panamenian, El Salsero Ismael Rivera that sings El Cristo Negro de Porto Bello and travels for many years to the prosecion of the Cristo de Porto Bello. A little bit more history of Panama and Borinquen because we are brothers and sisters.

      @@joseortega-us6rn definitely. I love El Nazareno, both the song and the Christ. I'm actually gonna see him very soon.
      Portobelo and El Cristo Negro will always be a big part of the soul of Panama.
      Love from Panama, to all boricuas

    Thank you for this video, and for not trying to downplay how dark the history of this country is.

    Here as a Panamanian who never particularly cared about my country growing up and looking back wants to reconnect with my culture and history. Just... Solo que... en Ingles ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Amazing how historical contexts and multiple sources of information and “lens” of views… produce better relationships with history and therefore the work of today.

    Thank you very much for this. It's very hard to find history about Panama. How long did it take you to complete this research?

    •  Před 6 měsíci +1

      The research a long time based on my classes. I don’t really know how long. The actual writing about a week.

    Defacto and dujure realities. The work of better involves local engagement and larger context with authentic community uplift. It’s a lot of history.

    @djboss4140 Před rokem +1

    Hi I'm not a CZcams and ur work is superb, I lived through that invasion and most panamanians new what Noriega did that was no lie since Colombia and Panama has no border patrol at least in yhe early 90s , Noriega was bush senior informant for what happenens in south America from all the corruption in other countries since South American countries didn't really like him much, Bush new what he did and how he did it to help us panamanians so Bush sr taxed Noriega a percentage a year so Noriega could keep doing what he did be his informant and all is good but as greed grows politics and strife power was need to be enforced in the other south American countries Bush sr decided to squeeze Noriega more so when Noriega said nomore to Bush sr since Bush sr threatened Noriega to expose him to the panamanians Noriega said go ahead . For a while panamanians protected Noriega but the bombs and black hawk helicopters that patrolled every day for 2 weeks and soldiers killing (the city is where I lived and it was not pretty ) that's when the panamanians beged Noriega to surrender.😔😔😔😔😔😔

    The US government defends the territorial integrity of Ukraine and Georgia(Sakartvelo), but it was they who destroyed the territorial integrity of Mexico, Yugoslavia and Colombia.
    They have a lot to apologize for.

    Elections… let’s say I wanted to run for office in the US… I know a few folks in political parties and the like… how is that signal of attack on me any different than large scale factions warring behind centuries of abuse and lower struggles. The reality is… it’s not… it is also why we must rise above and work toward better arguing…
    Not cowardly mob mentality which blends over into racketeering… I’m very grateful for our two party systems and various structural concerns. But, Liberty doesn’t typically die or get slaughtered in the first pass… the realities of action and reaction are very real.
    The regional work of health, climate and tools is not an excuse of overt privatization or eminent domain of obvious multi level large needs of better. It’s not sustainable. It’s just weird at this point.
    Privacy, transparency and proper oversight matter. The election cycles are not “passes for data nonsense”.
