Peru Rebels Reject Surrender Call

I read an interestin article from the BBC. Peruvian authorities struggle to control rebel strongholds in the remote jungles of Peru. The group, Shining Path, are openly drug and arms dealers among other things. They have been creating political upheaval for decades throughout the region by attempting by institute their communist regime. What authorities overlook is the group's mass popularity. Many natives support the Shining Path because they stand for a change against the oppressive government. They draw in members with beliefs that big government is inevitably corrupt. They still hold out posts across the jungle and struggle for their cause, which is remarkably similar to that of the American revolution. They are labeled terrorist because they seek to establish a new reign void of the corrupt power structures that dictate their country.
