Guillermo Endara vs Kececizade Fuad Pasha

Guillermo Endara, running as the candidate of the opposition coalition ADOC, won the Panamanian presidential election against Manuel Noriega's candidate. The election was marred by fraud and violence, and the results were subsequently annulled by Noriega's regime.

Following the U.S. invasion of Panama in December 1989, Endara was sworn in as President at a U.S. military base. His presidency was initially seen as legitimate by the international community, but he faced challenges of rebuilding the country after the invasion.

Endara served as President from 1989 to 1994. His administration focused on economic recovery, dismantling Noriega's military apparatus, and strengthening democratic institutions. He faced criticism for corruption and slow progress, but oversaw the transition to a civilian government.

Fuad Pasha was instrumental in drafting and promulgating the Imperial Reform Edict (Islahat Fermani). The edict guaranteed equality for all Ottoman subjects regardless of religion, granted civil rights to non-Muslims, and aimed to prevent European intervention.

Fuad Pasha represented the Ottoman Empire at the Congress of Paris ending the Crimean War. He helped secure Ottoman territorial integrity and admission to the Concert of Europe, though the empire was forced to accept limitations on its sovereignty in the Black Sea.

As foreign minister, Fuad Pasha was sent to Syria to restore order after the Druze-Maronite conflict. He implemented a harsh crackdown, executing local leaders and imposing a new administrative system that established the Mutasarrifate of Mount Lebanon.

Fuad Pasha was appointed Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire by Sultan Abdulaziz. He served multiple terms and was a leading figure in the Tanzimat reforms, advocating for modernization and centralization of the empire.

Fuad Pasha was dismissed from the grand vizierate by Sultan Abdulaziz due to palace intrigues and disagreements over policy. He was later appointed to other positions but never regained his former influence.
