Shining Path: Another Script
New Shining Path directives: intensify work in universities, higher institutes, and night schools. "Overcoming the bend in the road" alludes to Guzmán's speech made from the cage. In one week they seized Aucayacu and a camp belonging to three road-construction companies in Huancavelica, not counting the attacks in Lima. Meanwhile, in the Alto Huallaga, peasants have no viable occupation other than growing coca leaf — an activity that, despite having lost value on the market, remains more lucrative than any alternative crop.
