Shining Path

Its real name being Partido Comunista del Peru Sendero Luminoso, the Shining Path is a terrorist movement inspired by Maoism born in Peru in the 1970s through the drive of a philosophy professor, Abimaël Guzman. Calling for a popular war, it has been responsible for the deaths of several thousand people. Guzman was arrested in 1992. Since then the movement has lost momentum.
