Scenarios about 'manuel noriega'
Manuel Noriega was a Panamanian military officer and dictator who ruled Panama from 1983 to 1989, initially as an ally and intelligence asset for the United States. His regime was marked by corruption, drug trafficking, and human rights abuses before he was removed from power during the U.S. invasion of Panama (Operation Just Cause) and subsequently imprisoned in the United States. In alternate history scenarios, Noriega's continued rule, different U.S. policies toward him, or alternative outcomes to the invasion frequently serve as divergence points for exploring Cold War power dynamics in Latin America.
