That country is Peru. The peasants and workers there are waging a people's war led by the Maoist Communist Party of Peru, often called the Sendero Luminoso or Shining Path in the press. They are knocking the old rule of the exploiters and oppressors to the ground. And they are building a new power to fight against ALL oppression. The people's war in Peru is our struggle—it belongs to the proletariat and oppressed of the world. This is the most important and precious revolutionary struggle in the world today. And what makes it even more crucial for us here in this country to support the sisters and brothers in Peru is that we share a common enemy—the U.S. government and the imperialist system it fronts for. The U.S. is the big backer of the vicious regime in Peru which is trying to crush the people's war with reactionary violence. Proletarians and oppressed in the U.S. have special responsibility to expose and oppose the murderous moves of the U.S. system against the revolution in Peru. We have special responsibility to stand with our people who are tufning the world upside down in the countryside and shantytowns of Peru. Peru's Fujimori regime held a referen ments (states) around Peru. The lima dum on October 31 on the new Constitution newspaper El Comercio reported that the which puts even more power in the hands of voter abstention rate was 21A percent and the dictator and bis military generals. The that 9 percent of the ballots were turned in Constitution was drawn up by the rubber- blank or spoiled. The regime suffered big stamp Congress dominated by President losses in the central and sou them highlands Fujimori's henchmen.
