Two government ministers have quit their posts in Peru after days of sometimes violent protests over the impeachment of the former president.
Officials say eight more people died on Thursday during clashes between the army and supporters of Pedro Castillo.
Meanwhile, thousands of tourists are trapped in the city of Cusco after protesters forced the airport to close.
The demonstrations began after Mr Castillo was removed from office by a congressional vote.
Peru has been through years of political turmoil, with the latest crisis coming to a head on 7 December when the former president announced he was dissolving Congress and introducing a state of emergency.
However, Mr Castillo's plan backfired and Congress instead voted overwhelmingly to impeach him.
More than 20 people have been killed in the protests that followed.

La Clinton’s “Arab Spring” becomes “Inca Spring”. Your CIA dollars at work.
Long live the Revolution.
It’s not clear from the article which side are the communists.

Certainly does sound like the Neocons are getting bored with their ‘Ukraine Project’.
Brief web research seems to indicate that he’s a leftist. He’s been likened to Venezuela’s Maduro. If that’s correct, good riddance to Castillo and tough cookies to his protesters. Marxism delenda est.
If that’s not true, I’m sure someone will enlighten me.
it’s getting to where I like less and less to vacay in commie ran countries.
Which side do most USA Conservatives support?
I am usually on the Army side, but after 14 years of Obama and Biden generals, I have lost political confidence in almost everyone.

...and for the same reason it’s tough to stay home in Brandon’s America! :-)
(Just kidding. Sort of.)
Might be. Castillo is the further left Marxist who was removed from office when he tried to dissolve the government and make himself maximum leader. There are discussions elsewhere in FR and Castillo was trying to get to Mexico for asylum. The Left would likely seek assistance from the Biden regime.
Peru had a very peculiar and effective system for smuggling at the airport. You would clear passport control and then go to inspections. A completely random system would give you a green light or red light. If green just pick up your bags and go. If red your baggage was searched and if you had bad stuff, you had a problem.

Only 20 pieces of commie trash killed? C’mon, there are thousands. Go for it. Clean house. Especially since the commie trash were openly working with drug cartels. Kill them all.
Think of the children! The ones not wanting to grow up under a communist/progressive regime.
