The 2009 Peruvian political crisis resulted from the ongoing opposition to oil development in the Peruvian Amazon by local Indigenous peoples; they protested Petroperú and confronted the National Police. At the forefront of the movement to resist the development was Asociación Interétnica de Desarrollo de la Selva (AIDESEP), a coalition of indigenous community organizations in the region.[1][2]
Following the government's decision to pass regulations allowing companies access to the Amazon, natives conducted more than a year of declared opposition and advocacy to change this policy and, from 9 April, began a period of protest and civil disobedience. In June 2009, the Garcia government suspended civil liberties, declared a state of emergency, and sent in the military to stop the protests.[1] The military intervention, referred to as the Baguazo,[3] resulted in two days of bloody confrontations,[2] resulting in a total of 23 police deaths, 10 native/civilians deaths and more than 150 native wounded.[4]
This conflict has been described as Peru's worst political violence in years and is the worst crisis of President Alan García's presidency.[5][6] Prime Minister Yehude Simon was forced to resign his post in the aftermath, and Congress repealed the laws that led to the protests.
