Hey there! Have you ever heard of the Panama Canal? It’s a super important waterway that ships use to travel between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans without going all the way around South America. Pretty cool, right?
Recently, the University of Panama, which is the biggest university in Panama, spoke up about something important. They are worried that visits from some high-ranking officials from another country might be trying to influence how Panama runs the canal.
The university believes that these visits could be an attempt to control the canal or even set up military bases in their country. They feel it’s important for Panama to make its own decisions without interference from others.
The students and teachers at the University of Panama are saying, “We want the Panama Canal to stay neutral, and we believe Panamanians should decide our own future!” 🇵🇦
They also mentioned that it’s crucial for their country to be free from any outside pressure and that they don’t want to be part of any conflicts started by other nations.
It’s a big reminder that countries value their independence and the ability to make choices that are best for their own people.
What do you think about this situation? Have you learned about the Panama Canal in school? Share your thoughts! 💭
