Manuel Antonio Noriega
Manuel Antonio Noriega was a Panamanian military officer and politician who served as the de facto ruler of Panama from 1983 until his overthrow by a U.S. invasion in 1989. Once a key ally of the United States, Noriega's regime became increasingly authoritarian and was marked by allegations of drug trafficking and human rights abuses. His eventual capture led to his trial and imprisonment in the United States and France for drug-related charges. Noriega's controversial legacy continues to influence Panamanian politics and U.S.-Panama relations.
