PeruPeru: Labor Unions Join Campesino Strike Against Toxic

Dictator who sterilized 300,000 women: ‘I Dream of a Peru Without Resentment’

NOVANEWS Recently pardoned Peruvian dictator Alberto Fujimori, freshly discharged from hospital and living in a luxury mansion, has shared his aspirations for a “Peru without resentment.” The controversial figure is linked to commanding death squads that carried out disappearances and extrajudicial killings in the war against insurgent groups Shining Path and the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement, which claimed at least 70,000 lives. Fujimori, now 79, also directed the forced sterilization of approximately 300,000 mostly Indigenous women between 1996 and 2000. He was detained in Chile in 2005 and sentenced in 2009 to 25 years in prison for several crimes, including premeditated murder and kidnapping. Last week he was discharged from the Centenario clinic, where he had been hospitali...

NOVANEWS By Dr. Gary G. Kohls Global Research Note: In its 200 year history, the USA has intervened in, invaded or militarily occupied the following Western Hemisphere nations: Canada, Confederate States of America, Mexico, Cuba, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Colombia, Panama, Venezuela, Surinam, Brazil, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, Chile, Argentina, Puerto Rico, Grenada.

Since then, the CIA has played a role i...

NOVANEWS teleSUR “A lot of what we do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA.” NED founding father, Allen Weinstein The U.S. government and military have a long history of interfering in the affairs of numerous countries in Latin American and the Caribbean.

Humala Wins Peru’s Presidential Runoff

NOVANEWS by Stephen Lendman On April 10, Ollanta Humala received most support among five presidential candidates, but not a majority.
