VOICED : Autodefensa y lucha contra la droga

The video discusses the creation of self-defense committees in Peru over 20 years ago to support the military and police against guerrilla groups. These committees, now expected to combat drug production, face challenges due to limited resources. Peru is the leading producer of coca leaves, essential for cocaine, and many farmers rely on this cultivation for survival. The committees' leaders claim their effectiveness is hindered by a lack of government-provided weapons and resources.
