Isabel Corro

Isabel Corro is a Panamanian woman who vividly recalls the traumatic events of the U.S. invasion of Panama in December 1989, during which she experienced the chaos and violence firsthand. At 79 years old, she shared her memories of that fateful night when U.S. helicopters and fighter jets bombarded her city, turning a festive atmosphere into one of terror. Her personal story is shadowed by tragedy, as her stepfather, a police officer, was killed during the invasion, with his remains later discovered in a mass grave. Corro's reflections highlight the lasting impact of the invasion on Panama's collective memory and the ongoing discussions about its consequences.
