Peru (i/pəˈruː/; Spanish: Perú [peˈɾu]; Quechua: Piruw [pɪɾʊw];Aymara: Piruw [pɪɾʊw]), officially the Republic of Peru (Spanish: República del Perú ), is a country in western South America. It is bordered in the north by Ecuador and Colombia, in the east by Brazil, in the southeast by Bolivia, in the south by Chile, and in the west by the Pacific Ocean. Peru is an extremely biodiverse country with habitats ranging from the arid plains of the Pacific coastal region in the west to the peaks of the Andes mountains vertically extending from the north to the southeast of the country to the tropical Amazon Basin rainforest in the east with the Amazon river.
Peruvian territory was home to ancient cultures spanning from the Norte Chico civilization in Caral, one of the oldest in the world, to the Inca Empire, the largest state in Pre-Columbian America. The Spanish Empire conquered the region in the 16th century and established a Viceroyalty with its capital in Lima, which included most of its South American colonies. Ideas of political autonomy later spread throughout Spanish America and Peru gained its independence, which was formally proclaimed in 1821. After the battle of Ayacucho, three years after proclamation, Peru ensured its independence. After achieving independence, the country remained in recession and kept a low military profile until an economic rise based on the extraction of raw and maritime materials struck the country, which ended shortly before the war of the Pacific. Subsequently, the country has undergone changes in government from oligarchic to democratic systems. Peru has gone through periods of political unrest and internal conflict as well as periods of stability and economic upswing.
For over 4 decades Peru has fought the war on drugs with backing from the US. Ten of thousands of coca plants and hundres of tonnes of cocaine have been destroyed. Despite all these efforts, United Nations now claims Peru is the most important producer of cocaine in the world; with this has come levels of corruption and violence that threatens the very fabric of the country. Over the past year that battle has focused on the capital's port, with criminal cartels fighting for control of the main exit rout for drugs. It is a war that everyone knows cannot ever be won, but not to fight it is un-thinkable, and Sonia Medina Peru's current anti-drug Prosecutor continously risks her life - and that of her family - to face down the growing grip of the narcotic cartels on her country.

Subscribe to VICE News here: http://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-VICE-News The United Nations announced in 2013 that Peru has overtaken Colombia as the world’s top producer of coca, the raw plant material used to manufacture cocaine. For the past two decades, Colombia has been virtually synonymous with cocaine. Now that Peru has become the global epicenter of cocaine production, the Andean nation runs the risk of becoming the world’s next great narco state. The Peruvian government is trying to crack down on the problem by ramping up eradication of coca plants, and devoting military and police resources to interdiction efforts. Despite the response — and a hefty amount of foreign aid devoted to combatting cocaine production — Peruvian coke is being consumed in the nightclubs of Lima and in cities ...

For more than 50 million years, the Amazon rainforest has been a cradle of life. Its pristine forests, however, are increasingly under threat due to illegal gold mining. TechKnow's Phil Torres heads to La Pampa, the buffer zone of Tambopata National Reserve, to witness how illegal mining is turning forests into toxic wastelands. There, more than 100,000 acres of rainforest have been cleared. - Subscribe to our channel: http://bit.ly/AJSubscribe - Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AJEnglish - Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aljazeera - Check out our website: http://www.aljazeera.com/

La place d'un père, la place d'une mère dans une famille
La place de deux êtres chers censés s'aimer pour la vie
Unis par leur volonté, par les sentiments en commun
Simplement réunis, on craint rien
Enfin c'est c' qu'on dit mais pas toujours c' qu'on voit
J'ai demander pourquoi, on m'a répondu c'est la vie
Puis-je donner mon avis? Faut qu' j' reste en dehors de ça
Quand l'amour s' transforme en haine et qu'on s' déchire devant moi
Voila ce qu'il en est, et c' n'est pas autrement
Comprend tant d'angoument pour l'histoire de mes tourments
Le temps évolue, j'ai fait face aux soucis, j'ai grandi
Maman est là, mais papa est parti et la j'ai compris
Qu' t'as préféré tourner la page
J'étais pas du voyage, dire qu' j' te croyais au paradis
Vu qu' l'alcool fait des ravages
Tu t'es pas rattrapé et sans même te retourner
J' t'ai vu t'éloigner du rivage
Et s' tu as ta vie merdique j'en sais trop rien
Dev'nu alcoolique et tu fais du mal aux tiens
Combien de fois tu l'a vexer, combien de fois t'étais pas la
Combien de bleus sur ses bras, car quand on aime on n' compte pas
Tu es parti
Sans même que l'on ne puisse te dire au revoir
Au fond d' mon coeur
Tout est devenu si noir
Tu es parti
Sans même que l'on ne puisse te dire au revoir
Au fond d' mon coeur
Il reste encore un espoir
Oh papa, si j'avais peut j' t'aurais dit: Non, ne pars pas!
J'étais trop p'tit pour comprendre J'ai dû grandir sans toi
Même si mama c'est bien occupée d' moi
Il me manquait un repère, un père derrière moi
J'fermais les yeux et j'imaginais ton visage,
J'savais juste que t'étais noir vu mon métissage
A l'école on m' demandait Ton papa il fait quoi?
Les autres se marraient quand moi je ne répondais pas
Le jour ou j' suis tombé sur cette photo de mariage
Le puzzle de ma vie a commencé son assemblage
J'ai enfin su à quoi tu ressemblais
Impossible d'expliquer l'effet qu' ça m'a fait
mil-neufcent quatre-vingt-dix le téléphone sonne
Après l'orage le soleil rayonne
Mama m'appelle et m' dit quelqu'un veut t' parler
J'ai juste entendu allo j'ai compris qui c'était
Quelques semaines plus tard te voilà devant moi
Est-ce la réalité ou s' rêve que j' vis à chaque fois
T'es resté huit ans puis t'es r'parti
T'es retourné au pays
Tu es parti
Sans même que l'on ne puisse te dire au revoir
Au fond d' mon coeur
Tout est devenu si noir
Tu es parti
Sans même que l'on ne puisse te dire au revoir
Au fond d' mon coeur
Il reste encore un espoir
A la suite de ton départ
J'ai dû m' faire une raison
Quand elle a dit au grand frère,
Maintenant t'es l'homme de la maison
Elle si fière dev'nue la cause de mes souffrances
Devant nous l'air de rien, mais qui pleurait en silence
J'aimerais plus t'en vouloir, à l'inverse de mon coeur
Une rancoeur intérieure d'avoir juste un géniteur
A toute personne délaissée, sans présence de darons
Divorcée ou décédées, qu'ont juste hérité d'un nom
Oh papa! J'ai mis 4 ans pour effacer ma rancune
Un père on en a qu'un une mère on n'en a qu'une
J'ai ranger ma fierté, j' t'ai rejoins là-bas
Les larmes ont coulées quand tu m'as pris dans tes bras
Moi j' l'ai r'trouvé, d'autres ont pas eu cette chance
J'leur dédie ce morceau et partage leur souffrance
Ceux victimes d'un abandon, d'un divorce ou d'un décès
Ceux qui vivent avec le coeur blessé
Tu es parti
Sans même que l'on ne puisse te dire au revoir
Au fond d' mon coeur
Tout es devenu si noir
Tu es parti
Sans même que l'on ne puisse te dire au revoir
Au fond d' mon coeur
