In this article, something that was not a civil war but an internal confrontation against terrorist groups is referred to as a "civil war" Does the quote say it like that? Because the link says something different? Hastengeims (talk) 01:31, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Peruvian conflict (1980–2000) is termed a "civil war" due to its scale, objectives, and impact. Though the Shining Path was labeled a terrorist group, it operated as an insurgency seeking to overthrow the state, meeting key criteria for civil war: large-scale violence, political aims, and blurred lines between civilians and combatants.

"One must also bear in mind important distinctions between the following kinds of civil war: (a) civil wars fought for the sake of deciding which sub-community or group within the larger community will control the state's apparatus; ... ‘Good’ examples of the first kind of conflicts are ... the Peruvian civil war of 1980–2000 between the Peruvian government and the Communist movement Shining Path." (Fabre, Cécile, "Civil wars", Cosmopolitan War, 2012).

I just realized that my edit in that article, which clarifies just that, has been reversed. I will fix it immediately. JD John M. Turner (talk) 02:36, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
