Panama Canal fence
McPherson (2002) describes the controversial Panama Canal fence as a "separation barrier built by the United States in the Panama Canal Zone that divided the Republic of Panama in two separate sections". The Canal Zone, primarily consisting of the Panama Canal, was a strip of land running from the Pacific Ocean to the Caribbean. The fence, also called “Fence of Shame” and "another Berlin Wall” portrayed the centre of geopolitical and diplomatic turmoil between the United States and the Republic of Panama. Some evidences suggest construction, breaking and repairs of the fence while others including many aerial photographs and "Life" magazine (January 24, 1964) confirm that there was no such physical barrier between the Canal Zone and Panama.
