Alberto Fujimori, Peru’s former president and one of its most divisive figures, has died at the age of 86. His passing marks the end of a career that significantly influenced Peru’s political landscape for over 30 years.
Alberto Fujimori, who led the country from 1990 to 2000, is remembered for his tough stance in addressing economic crises and fighting insurgent groups like the Shining Path. While credited with bringing stability to a nation plagued by violence and hyperinflation, his tenure was also marred by serious human rights violations and authoritarian policies.

Fujimori’s leadership is a source of deep debate in Peru. His economic reforms are often hailed for steering the country out of financial disaster, but his decision to dissolve Congress in 1992 and accusations of widespread corruption tarnished his legacy.
In 2007, Fujimori was sentenced to prison for human rights abuses, yet he maintained a loyal following, with many believing he saved Peru during a time of great turmoil.
As Peru reflects on Fujimori’s legacy, his impact on the nation remains as polarizing as ever.
