センデロ・ルミノソ
Since the captures of Shining Path founder Abimael Guzmán in 1992 and his successor Comrade Artemio in 2012, the Shining Path has declined in activity. Only one remaining faction of the Shining Path, the Militarized Communist Party of Peru (MPCP), exists in the Valle de los Ríos Apurímac, Ene y Mantaro (VRAEM) region of Peru, and it has split from Shining Path in order to maintain support of peasants previously persecuted by the Shining Path.
