This week we are back to yet another crisis in Latin America, this time, in Peru. I was surprised at first to hear about the presence of Guerrillas in Peru since for some reason I always thought they were specific to Columbia (maybe it’s because Netflix movies and documentaries on Guerrillas were usually in Columbia). … Continue reading Week 11
