Peruvians affected by the war held a ceremony and marched in the capital Lima on the 9th anniversary of the adoption of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) report, to urge the government to set aside state cash to compensate victims of political violence committed in the 1980s and 1990s.

    Lets just get the Hell out of the country, no more aid Military, Food or humanitarian. Those Muslim countries do not want any freedom. How many of those in the picture were actually injured by US forces? and not some radical group.
