In 1992, the Shining Path took its war to the streets of Lima, with a series of bombings and killings. They came close once, destroying the ILD offices.
De Soto and the ILD openly took on the Shining Path. The Shining Path almost brought the government down, and in the process, tried three times to assassinate de Soto. The ILD believed that giving poor people title to their land would turn them away from the Shining Path, because it would help them to start businesses and eventually improve their lives. The threat of Shining Path violence enabled the ILD to pressure the government and ruling elites into accepting much needed reforms. People chose property rights and access to the system over terrorists.
The Shining Path lost the war and Peru emerged as the only country in the world to defeat its homegrown terrorists both politically and militarily.
