Put it on my watchlist, good start for this article.--Jersey Devil 07:11, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We need an image on the main infobox like there are for other conflicts (see Vietnam War, Algerian War of Independence, Irish War of Independence, Second Chechen War, etc...). An image that is iconic of the Peruvian internal conflict.--Jersey Devil 20:02, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vera Lentz seems to be the photographer that took almost all of the iconic photographs of the war. I assume she owns them. It'd be nice to get permission to use one of them, though. I have no idea how to contact her. --Descendall 17:10, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually I bet that one way you could get in contact with her is to ask for her contact info from any of the producers of "State of Fear," which really heavily used her photographs and even included them all on the DVD of their movie. You can see their email address here. --Descendall 05:06, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It seems I've added a new image from flickr, hope they keep it. --Andersmusician $ 18:38, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have seen that photo before and I am almost positive that it is copyrighted.--200.62.165.65 21:20, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The article linked to says "What the police have to determine is the motive, the aim, and what kind of criminal did it." In other words, the police do not know the first thing about this bomb. It seems a little too early to say that the Shining Path was responsible. --200.62.165.65 21:20, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I added the following: "Because of the timing of the attack the Shining Path is suspected by the Peruvian authorities of holding responsibility for the attack." I hope that clarifies this issue.--Jersey Devil 21:31, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Think we can add something from onwar.com --Andersmusician $ 03:31, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Whoever keeps adding in that Fujimori was impeached knows nothing about Peru. The Peruvian Constitution does not allow any politician to be impeached. The only way that a president can be removed from office is if he is incapable of preforming the duties of the President of the Republic. The Congress of the Republic issued a finding that Fujimori was incapcitated after he fled the country. Please do not say that there was an impeachment proceeding. There was not one. THANX. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.121.161.134 (talk) 03:04, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, that is not accurate at all. Fujimori didn't flee the country: He received the authorization from Congress to participate in the APEC Conference that was taking place in Brunei. After the Fujimorista President of the Peruvian Congress was removed from office and replaced with a hard-line anti-Fujimorista, Alberto Fujimori submitted his resignation, which was not accepted. Congress Impeached him and after that unconstitutionally removed him from the Presidency (there was no enough votes to secure a 2/3 majority). Messhermit 23:47, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is absurd antifujimori garbage. Alberto Fujimori was never impeached or indicted by anyone. In Peru, there is no impeachment at all. The Political Constitution of Peru says only that the presidency vacated. The Congress of the Republic has no indictment power at all. In the case of Fujimori, Chapter IV Article 113 Section 2 was activated. I reproduce Article 113 in its entirety below.

Artículo 113º

La Presidencia de la República vaca por:

1. Muerte del Presidente de la República.

2. Su permanente incapacidad moral o física, declarada por el Congreso.

3. Aceptación de su renuncia por el Congreso.

4. Salir del territorio nacional sin permiso del Congreso o no regresar a él dentro del plazo fijado. Y

5. Destitución, tras haber sido sancionado por alguna de las infracciones mencionadas en el Artículo 117 de la Constitución.

The new image on the infobox looks great. Apparently made by a German Wikipedian and put up on Commons. Thanks for putting it up Anders.--Jersey Devil (talk) 06:40, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Excellent contribution! DBaba (talk) 07:38, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think it should be called that way instead of "Internal conflict in Peru". Similar to Terrorism in the United States or Domestic terrorism in the United States.--201.230.21.141 (talk) 01:37, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agree In fact, I'm going to rename the article, because this wasn't an internal conflict or civil war, it was a fight between the Peruvian State against two major terrorist factions. Greetings.--Ian (CloudAOC) | ^Talk 19:11, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This section contains contradictory information regarding the described bomb attack in Lima. One editor implies that the Shining Path was responsible, but s/he is immediately contradicted by another editor who says that Shining Path has no operations in the city. I don't know which is true, so I've placed "citation needed" tags on both claims. In addition, I've added a tag pointing out this contradiction to the top of the section. Either the attack was carried out by the Shining Path, or it wasn't-we need some sources to determine which is true. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dpenn89 (talk • contribs) 20:09, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a source linking the Shining Path to the El Polo bombing, found after a quick google search:

http://www.cablegatesearch.net/cable.php?id=05LIMA3813

It's apparently from a leaked diplomatic cable. I don't really know enough about the subject to judge if this is a plausible source or not. Several someones more knowledgeable than me should take a look and decide what do do with the contradictory information we have in the article. Dpenn89 (talk) 20:42, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
