'''Shining Path '''(Spanish: ''Sendero Luminoso''), also known as the '''Communist Party of Peru''', was a communist guerrilla and terrorist organization in Peru. The goal of Shining Path is establish a Maoist and dictatorship state in Peru. They were the main cause of [[Internal Conflict in Peru]] (1980-2000). The organization was founded by [[Abimael Guzmán]] in 1980. They have been known to engage in [[Illegal Drug Trade|drug trafficking]] and other related activities.

Widely condemned for its brutality, including violence deployed against peasants, multiple acts of mass [[murder]], killing of trade union organizers, elected officials and the general civilian population, the Shining Path is regarded by Peru as a terrorist organization, having committed numerous human rights abuses and [[war crimes]]. Japan, the United States, the European Union, and Canada likewise classify the group as a terrorist organization and prohibit funding and other financial support.

==History==

The Shining Path was founded in 1969 by [[Abimael Guzmán]], a former university philosophy professor (his followers referred to him by his ''nom de guerre'' Presidente Gonzalo), and a group of 11 others. His teachings created the foundation of its militant Maoist doctrine. It was an offshoot of the Communist Party of Peru — Bandera Roja (red flag), which in turn split from the original Peruvian Communist Party, a derivation of the Peruvian Socialist Party founded by José Carlos Mariátegui in 1928.
