💨 Abstract

Peru's government declared a 60-day state of emergency in Lima districts due to a surge in crime, particularly extortions. The measure involves deploying armed forces to combat the issue. Bus drivers are on strike, causing traffic chaos, and have suspended classes and urged remote work or late shifts. Four bus drivers have been killed since August, with one killed on Sunday for refusing extortion.
