Panama is the second country in Latin America (the other being Costa Rica) to permanently abolish standing armies, with Panama retaining a small para-military security force.  This came as a result of a U.S. invasion that overthrew a military dictatorship which ruled Panama from 1968 to 1989.

Under his administration, Ecuador became a leader in science and higher education within Latin America.  In addition to the advances in education and science, he was noted for economically and agriculturally advancing the country, as well as for his staunch opposition to corruption, even giving his own salary to charity.  However, a contemporary account from a consortium of London publishers, The Annual Register for 1875, reports, "the deceased President was a ruler more feared than loved in the Republic whose destinies he had guided for nearly fifteen years, having governed it rather as a military dictator than as the head authority of a Liberal Constitution.”

Derg: The Derg, Common Derg or Dergue (Ge'ez: ደርግ, meaning "committee" or "council") is the short name of the Coordinating Committee of the Armed Forces, Police, and Territorial Army that ruled Ethiopia from 1974 to 1987.  It took power following the ousting of Emperor Haile Selassie I.  Soon after it was established, the committee was formally renamed the "Provisional Military Administrative Council", but continued to be known popularly as "the Derg".  In 1975, it formally abolished the monarchy and embraced Communism as an ideology.  The abolition of feudalism, sweeping land reform, literacy, and education became priorities.  With the backing of the United States, Somalia invaded.  Internally, armed uprisings were given U.S. aid.  The Derg eventually became formally known as the "Provisional Military Government of Socialist Ethiopia".  Between 1975 and 1987, the Derg executed and imprisoned tens of thousands of its opponents without trial.  In 1987 Mengistu Haile Mariam, its chairman since 1977, abolished the Derg and replaced it with the People's Democratic Republic of Ethiopia.  However, Mengistu and the surviving members of the Derg dominated the new government.  After years of warfare by a coalition of ethnic-based parties, Mengistu was overthrown in 1991.

Secularism in Pakistan: The concept of the Two-Nation Theory on which Pakistan was founded, was largely based on Muslim nationalism.  Secularism in Pakistan went from being a matter of practice in law by the Government of Pakistan to a political movement opposing the Islamization policies of the military dictator General Zia-ul-Haq in the 1980s.  The supporters of Islamisation on the other hand assert that Pakistan was founded as a Muslim state and that in its status as an Islamic republic, it must thereby implement Islamic laws, known as Shariat.  And that the context of Jinnah's speech was true implementation of Islam in which all religions would have equal rights and live as free citizens as supported by the Islamic jurisprudence itself as distinguished from a religious oligarchy.
