Insurgency in Chiriquí
The Insurgency in Chiriquí was a small insurgency located primarily in Chiriquí Province, Panama, near the border with Costa Rica. The guerrillas sought to overthrow the military regime that had gained power after the 1968 Panamanian coup d'état. However, through terror and censorship the National Guard managed to discourage civilians from supplying and supporting the guerrillas, and the insurgency eventually ended.
