Peruvian President Jose Jeri has declared a 30-day state of emergency for the capital, Lima, and the neighboring province of Callao, effective just after midnight on Tuesday.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!This dramatic move is the administration’s response to rising crime in the region. The measure, approved by the Council of Ministers, authorizes the deployment of the armed forces to assist the police in maintaining public order.
“We are moving from defense to offense in the fight against crime,” Jeri said in a televised address, vowing to “regain peace, tranquility, and the trust of millions of Peruvians.”
Jeri, who took office earlier this month, had already made tackling crime a top priority for his new cabinet. The announcement follows major protests last week where civil society groups and young people from “Generation Z” demanded action on the issue. Those protests resulted in one death and over 100 injuries.
This is not the first time Peru has used this measure; former President Dina Boluarte imposed a similar 30-day state of emergency in March. However, security experts caution that repeated emergency declarations have done little to reduce crime in the past.

Pleural mesothelioma, that is the most common sort and influences the area across the lungs, will cause shortness of breath, breasts pains, plus a persistent cough, which may bring about coughing up body.
