After former President Pedro Castillo was impeached and arrested earlier this month, deadly protests have crippled the nation’s infrastructure. Hundreds of tourists, including many Americans, are now stranded in Machu Picchu with trains halted and nearby roads blocked. Tonight, Peruvian authorities say they’re helping tourists get out, with humanitarian flights expected to begin Sunday.

#Protest #Peru #MachuPichu
First
Why can’t US army just go and Jet them out?
That’s not International Law works.
….National Sovereignty must be respected.
Those Americans went there of their own volition.
@The Salty Milk Dog But we are #1 top dog. And our puppies need help.
Because Peruvians have threatened to shoot down any plane that enters their space. Also the fact that there is practically no government there right now so the military will pretty much shoot first and ask questions latter fearing some type of invasion among the chaos.
Thats dumb of them. Why are Americans galavanting around in Peru in a time of turmoil?
They most likely planned this months in advance, but people must know these countries are never that stable
That’s what’s going to happen in America When Donald Trump get arrested… LOL
What a nonsensical comment.
How’s the weather in Beijing?
it’s going to be a big ol party
You mean when he don’t get arrested.
my worker is down there with her sister Peru I hope she will be safe from that Violence and tell them be carful

🙏
*What the CCP-PLA is doing in South America is deeply disturbing. I pray for the people Peru and Nicaragua, especially.*
May God help Peru.
May God bring peace everywhere.
They vacationed in *Peru?!* LOL, that’s fing hilarious, ignorant fools.
It’s like that dumb basketball player that tried to sneak weed into a country that *hates8 homosexuals becasue she was making $1 Million/year to stand for the Russian Flag. 🙄
Machu Picchu’s pretty cool though.
You love to see it
LUCKILY, I left the day before the Cusco airport closed. Just came back home yesterday!
Thank God! You were almost inconvenienced in the indigenous/mestizo struggle against the white elites in power…
Americans aren’t in danger. They just can’t leave their vacation and go home. Really not an emergency. They should just chill out and drink more Pisco Sour.
Bad time for travel
We need to band together and Elect Ron DeSantis President
😆 no likes at all

All this war going on in different countries and Americans still traveling? Smh idiot’s
We need a “once you leave America it’s at your own risk”
Wtf yall doing in Machoo Peeechoo anyway? Always where yall not suppose to be 🤣
The country is literally in a revolution right now, an actual UPRISING is happening in your eyes! There is no government because the people are risen up against it! And the U.S. just put a travel warning 5 days into the chaos as “not recomended for travel?” While in Mexico they immediately hike the travel warning mere minutes after any shooting which has nothing to do with tourism. This despite the fact that the U.S. has mass shooting literally every week! Why is there no travel warning against going to the U.S. where anyone having a bad day can just flip out and mow down a crowd?
On which side are the deaths?
The message was. Your vote worths nothing, democracy is a farse. What counts is the power of money, that can pay lawyers to produce mountains of corruption acussations, that owns the media, that buys judges … The people now disposessed from its elected representation has learned your lesson … this was expected .. as in Bolivia with Evo Morales
america is really good at doing these things, though. but i guess the ones who were looked as the bad ones, are originally the good ones.
What does this have to do with us? 💀💀
Terrorism never again. Keep it up Dina
NBC this has been reported by real news sources hours before you got arounnd to it. You must have busy deciding what news you should shield the country from . Now that youve been exposed for neglecting to report important news because it doesnt fit your agenda, America would prefer you leave news like this to the professional news outlets , that do not suppress news.
Youre really just another twisted msnbc type of so called news channel.
Leftists hate women. That is why they hate Boluarte.
Have to keep in mind that Castillo supporters (the protesters) are a very small but extremely loud minority in Peru and that it is a small part of those that are violent. The injured and dead seem to all be part of that violent subgroup. Should also remember that the Castillo party (Peru Libre, several of which are in Congress and both rally the violent protesters and cause most obstructions in congress) receive strategic and other support from Cuba, Venezuela and Bolivia and have members that were part of the terrorist group Sendero Luminoso that destroyed Peru over 20 years ago. Their goal is to destabilize the country, implement a Constitutional Assembly and replace normal government with what they have in Cuba and Venezuela.
Yikes 😮
Stranded at Machu Pichu?? I would love to sleep there!!
These pretestors are just paid puppets, arrest them all.
🙈🙈🙈
Yawn.
I find the hypocrisy telling of mainstream media in the media in the US-
Our media which is obsessed with racism & colonialism doesn’t mention that those who’ve illegally arrested the indigenous/mestizo Peruvian President are all white of European decent, that the same group has led to Peru having 6 presidents in 6 years- that the majority indigenous/mestizo population has had enough of the white elites undermining Peru’s democracy now that power is slipping from them & are demanding new elections-
Instead, our news media focus on the Americans & Europeans unconvinced by this pro democracy movement-
Hilarious. All you have to do is look at the members of their justice department, police and military and see that the vast majority of their members ARE indigenous/mestizos, which is exactly how it should be. Things changed enormously in this regard over the last 40 years. Second, the reason for 6 presidents and corrupt politicians is a broken set of election laws, where vote is mandatory (not just a right) for everyone, you can see well over 20 parties that pop out of nowhere for a given election and nobody has the ability to see what they stand for or if they are even honest, candidates (some of them charismatic but sponsored by criminal organizations or foreign agents) that have might not have finished high school or have purchased (not earned) college degrees, and a culture of massive corruption at all levels. That is why most peruvians do indeed want new elections “as soon as possible” to replace the presidency and congress, but they want them done right, with the necessary reforms to ensure that the next and future governments will be composed by skilled politicians focused on the good of the country and not just of their pocketbooks and party. For example, any elected position ought to require no prior criminal history (including cases pending from over 1 year before the elections – to ensure that phony charges aren’t used to disqualify a candidate), a minimum level of college degree, and prior experience in similar but lower government positions. And registering a party for an election should require it to have enough members to cover every polling site, thus forcing parties to merge into a easy to understand handful… so that voters can have an easier time grasping the differences between them. Common sense, yes… but it is not yet how elections work in Peru unless the process is reformed.
Should have kept yourself at home 😂😊
Glory to the people of Peru and their national liberation struggle against neoliberal capitalism!
There’s more to worry about in Peru than ignorant Americans.
May God bring peace to Peru.
May leaders stand up and build bridges.
May people grow up and realize that the earth isn’t a 6000 year old disk that some human looking “god” created. Bless the forests, the cathedrals of life, that were destroyed to make the airplanes that brought those selfish tourists half way around the world.
People are gross. Abort
Flying all around the world is selfish and irresponsible. Our ecosystems are dying and the temperature is rising. SHAME
Pakistan is a land of terrorism
Still many more and more terrorists are in Pakistan
