PERU: Government is reminded of security challenges
There is no doubt that the capture of historic Sendero Luminoso (SL) leader in the Alto Huallaga valley, ‘Camarada Artemio’ (Florindo Eleuterio Flores Hala), was nothing more than a resounding success for Peru. However, the government and the security forces can ill afford to be overconfident and believe that they can easily defeat criminality in the country. While President Ollanta Humala appears confident about delivering a similar blow the SL faction in the Apurímac and Ene River Valley (Vrae), the country has also had a small reminder that there are aspects of the fight against criminality that must be addressed urgently.
