Abstract

The town of Digir (Tigre) on December 9 and 20, 1962 suffered an attack by the Panamanian national guard, as did what happened in February 1925 due to the commercial exchange that existed and exists between Colombian vessels and the communities guna, but for the government this trade was contraband in the area, so they tried to control it. However, the Panamanian police abruptly invaded the town, causing bloodshed in the community and their confrontation with the guna authorities. Therefore, we will focus on knowing the causes of the conflict, what happened and the debates that arose in order to find a solution to the conflict. The methodology was based on the use of private stories and interviews with the protagonists themselves. See also the journalistic version of the events of the time. Among the results of the investigation, it is concluded that the events occurred due to the lack of a development policy in the region, as occurs today in Gunayala.
