Hello from Arequipa, Peru. Today I’m an observer at the conference of defense ministers of the Americas. Peru’s president, Ollanta Humala, is talking. The gray hair in the foreground is U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel.
I'm senior associate for regional security policy at WOLA (the Washington Office on Latin America). I use this space for anything even remotely related to that.
What I say here may not be the consensus opinion of my employer or my colleagues.
