1. Here is my best attempt at a very brief, and very neutral explanation of what is going on in Peru right now. It is still 37 toots long, so buckle up.

Let me start by saying that I grew up in Peru in the Cusco region where I have lived permanently again since 2018. I am not a journalist or political analyst, just a person who lives here, and I’m just trying to state the facts as neutrally as possible because this is a volatile situation.
