The Wechua Spring, also referred to as the Wechua Revolution, is an ongoing armed conflict between the government of the Wechua Nation and the insurgent Kʼanchaq Ñan (Shining Path) guerilla group, which is the armed wing of the Communist Soviet of the Wechua Nation (known as the CSWN, or the Ceswan).
The Wechua Spring began as a wave of both violent and non-violent demonstrations, protests, and riots in 1662 AN in the cities of Apurimaq and Rimarima, organized by the Social Democrat Club and the Communist Soviet of the Wechua Nation. These protests gained lots of support due to dissatisfaction with the government of the Inkap Ratin Kayara Mayhuasca Soncco, steep increases in the prices of food and fuel, and high youth unemployment. Violent clashes between protestors and government forces in these cities triggered larger demonstrations in other cities like Parap, Auquimarca, and Huichajanca.
