I had just graduated from law school in Lima. It was late 1993 and my beloved Peru was recovering from 12 years of internal conflict which had claimed tens of thousands of lives.
ndio nilikuwa nimemaliza elimu yangu ya sheria jijini Lima. ilikuwa ni mwaka 1993 na ambapo wakati huo Peru yangu niipendayo ndiyo ilikuwa inajijenga mara baada ya miaka 12 ya machafuko ya wenyewe kwa wenyewe yaliyogharimu maisha ya makumi elfu ya watu.
