Shining Path

GlobeAlert Desk · curated from InSight Crime

Shining Path The Shining Path or the Militarized Communist Party of Peru (Militarizado Partido Comunista de Peru – MPCP) is the last remnant of Peru’s guerrilla movement from the end of the 20th Century. Although the group is declining, it still maintains influence in the Apurímac, Ene, and Mantaro Rivers Valley (Valle de los Ríos Apurímac, Ene y Mantaro - VRAEM) due to its drug trafficking alliances. The post Shining Path appeared first on InSight Crime.
