PERU: The capture of ‘Artemio’ and beyond
The Peruvian government has been celebrating a major coup in its fight against the remnants of the Sendero Luminoso (SL) guerrillas: the capture of Florindo Eleuterio Flores Hala (‘Camarada Artemio’), leader of the smaller of the two factions. Details of his capture even are not entirely clear. Attention is now focusing on what will happen to Flores’s followers and the fate of the rival SL faction that operates in the Apurímac-Ene valley (VRAE).
