🇵🇪 One day after being inaugurated as Peru’s first female president, Keiko Fujimori has declared a state of exception, dramatically expanding the powers of the military and security services. Drop Site contributor Joseph Bouchard writes that the move makes Peru the latest Latin American country to impose full or restricted emergency rule in the name of fighting narco-trafficking, a rationale Washington has repeatedly used to justify intervention and expanded security cooperation across the region. Fujimori’s decision follows years of pressure from the US and its right-wing Latin American allies for a harsher crackdown on crime, despite Peru’s comparatively low homicide and violent crime rates. Lima, Callao, border regions, and the VRAEM are expected to become the main focus of the operations. She took office after winning by a razor-thin margin, following three consecutive presidential defeats, in a deeply polarized country where resistance to her radical agenda is already mounting. The state of exception could give her broad latitude to suppress dissent while limiting the ability of Peru’s powerful but divided Congress to rein her in. The measure also extends the authority of the armed forces and security apparatus, which experts say are already among the country’s dominant political actors. Under President Dina Boluarte, the military was deployed against protesters and used to carry out massacres, including at the National University of San Marcos in Lima. Fujimori, who was married to an American, holds US citizenship, and studied at American universities, has also promised to confront China’s growing influence in Peru while granting preferential diplomatic treatment to Washington. She is expected to join Trump’s Shield of the Americas, a political-military coalition that has become a pillar of support for US-aligned governments across Latin America. One of her first diplomatic appointments was Carlos Espá as foreign minister. Espá previously worked at the US Embassy in Lima. Fujimori is also expected to expand military operations against suspected drug cartels and potentially radical left-wing groups. She has already placed the military, rather than the police, in charge of the fight against crime. Her father Alberto Fujimori was democratically elected before seizing control of the country through a self-coup. His war against the Shining Path and MRTA unfolded amid the deaths of nearly 70,000 people, repeated massacres of civilians and opposition figures, and the effective suspension of democracy.

Egypt is an important friend and partner in the region, and its security is of utmost importance to us. We must all be vigilant against Israeli plots and false-flag operations designed to undermine regional peace. The threat is clear, mutual, and fearful of Muslim solidarity.
