PERU : What was behind suspension of coca eradication?
Coca eradication resumed on 23 August in the Alto Huallaga, just one week after the interior minister, Oscar Valdés, announced its suspension in order for the new government to redesign Peru’s counter-narcotics policies.

Until the government presents the results of its evaluation process the suspension will look improvised.
