I see some other people are working on this page as well. Anyway, I am finding it difficult to find information on the early life of Ollanta (even from sources in Spanish), everything I can find is from the 2000 revolt onward. If anyone can find some information on his early life and how he became a solider it would be very much appreciated. There has to be some important/interesting stuff, he was a military officer during the whole Shining Path rebellion. Also, I'm pretty messed up with the whole "image policy" situation, if someone can find an image of Ollanta to find that would be great. Thank you.--Jersey Devil 18:02, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
- I added an image and I know it's grainy (sorry guys but I have to save pictures to paint in order to get them as .gif instead of .bmp files and that takes away some coloring from the original image). Anyway, if someone could go on the link to which I got the image (you can find it by clicking on the image, I put it there) and get a clear image of it and put it here that would be really helpful. Thanks.-Jersey Devil 08:06, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
Newspaper
About a year ago, the Movimiento Etnocacerista handed me a newspaper named "Ollanta." The webpage of this paper, which hasn't been updated in years, can be seen here . Anyway, about a month ago I saw the same newspaper, with the same exact format and tagline ("The Nationalist Press that Peru Needs"), only it had been renamed "Antauro." Has the Movimiento Etnocacerista abandoned Ollanta? Are they supporting his more radical brother? There is also a building with a very large banner in Cusco that simply says "Humala Presidente" and has a picture of Antauro. It also has the symbol of a political party. I don't know what party is backing Antauro, but its symbol is a bean-shaped seed sprouting a plant. Is Antauro actually running against his brother? --Descendall 22:40, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
- As far as I know Antauro Humala is still in prision and facing trial for his rebelion on Abancay. He attempted to run for congress under a minor political party , but the JNE rejected his candidacy in the grounds that he is facing trial. Messhermit 00:07, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
I think that there may be some truth to it. My cousin, who is Peruvian (as in actually born and raised their not Peruvian-American) told me something a bit similar. There was a difference though, he said it wasn't Antauro but another one of Humala's brothers. But I am pretty sure that there is at least another Humala brother running in the election. Other things of interest is the father of the Humalas, Isaac Humala. He put all his children in military school from early on for 'amor de la patria'. Some links, the second one is an interview with Isaac Humala on Peru.com -Jersey Devil 22:56, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
- It is correct: Ollanta Humala and Ulises Humala are running for President in 2006. Ulices is more identified with Antauro, and has declared that his brother Ollanta no longer represents the radical change that Peru needs. Messhermit 00:03, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
Yep, and here is a source (Yahoo News in Spanish) confirming that -Jersey Devil 06:19, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
