...Manuel A. Noriega – Friend or Foe? Manuel Antonio Noriega Morena was born on February 11th, 1934 in Panama City, Panama to a poor accountant and his maid. (Tyle) At the age of five, his parents allowed a school teacher to adopt him. As a teen, he attended a well known high school, the National Institute, in preparation of becoming a doctor. During his time here, he participated in various anti-US protests. When high school was over, his family could not afford to send him to medical school so instead, Noriega accepted a scholarship to attend the Chorrios Military Academy in Peru. He graduated in 1962 with a degree in engineering. For the next few years, Noriega trained obstinately at the U.S. Army School of the Americas in Fort Benning, Georgia becoming highly decorated in intelligence, counterintelligence, and jungle operations and then went on to take a course in psychological operations (Psyops) at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. In 1967, Noriega returned to Panama and joined the Panama National Guard. One year later, he was promoted to lieutenant. That same year, the leader of Panama, Amulfo Arias was removed from power by the military a short 11 days after winning his second election. Many speculate Noriega played a major part of this military uprising. Control of government power was assumed by Colonel Omar Torrijos. Torrijos already had a great deal of respect for Noriega but one incident sealed the deal. In 1969, Torrijos was out of the country, a group of...

Archbishop Laboa is a famed Jesuit luminary. In the United States invasion of Panama on Christmas Eve 1989, President George H.W. Bush had woven together a tissue of lies and provocation to justify bombing and occupying a sovereign nation, Panama, in order to make what appeared to be a drug bust. General Manuel Noriega was the target of the cosmic sting. He refused the demands of the Ronald Reagan administration. Archbishop Laboa offered him sanctuary, but General Manuel Noriega had to against him. It is hard for him to made a decision. The playwright’s purpose was trying to tell people about the politics. However, the play also told people that when you have to make decisions, you should follow your heart. Do not let others take control of your decisions.

...Historical Narrative Stepping off the plane my uneasy stomach started to settle. I don’t know how many times I have made the 7 hour flight, ever since I had gotten married and moved away I had never gotten use to the turbulence on the flight home to visit. This time my vacation would be different though. It was 1989 and I was traveling back to visit my family in La chorrera, Panama. In 1989 Manuel Noriega was the dictator and a former CIA spy for the United States where I now live. But somewhere down the line though doing good, was just not in Noriega sights anymore, it is said that he started laundering money through France and Drug trafficking through the United States. Since I no longer lived in Panama I only knew what my parents and sibling’s often told me. My husband on the other hand knew more mostly because he was a sergeant in the United States Marine Corps. I would soon learn from my visit why everyone was not pleased with Noriega. When I arrived at the house my parents lived at I was surprised how everything had changed from my visit last year. There was no government, everything was under military control. And the military was controlled by Noriega. People were dying, disappearing, and stepping down from power it seem Noriega and only the people that supported him were in high places of power. At the time I didn’t think much of it, I hadn’t seen my family in a year and nothing was going to stop us from having a good time. My husband took my family and I out...
