Summary  
This declassified CIA memorandum from April 1963 details activities of Cuban-trained Peruvian guerrillas operating in Latin America during the early 1960s. The document outlines a network of approximately 70 Peruvians trained by Cuba until December 1962, who were involved in clandestine operations to support leftist revolutionary movements. These individuals allegedly used forged passports, false travel routes through Europe and the Caribbean, and coded communications to evade detection while planning coups in Peru. The group was linked to organizations such as the Kovinimite Iqurimite Equatoria (possibly a misspelling or code name) and the MIM (likely an acronym for a leftist group). The CIA agent monitoring these activities reported that some members had connections to Soviet-aligned groups, though only a small percentage were confirmed to be committed to communist causes. Plans included coordinating with other leftist factions to stage uprisings in Peru ahead of scheduled elections in 1963. The document also mentions financial operations involving Cuban and Chinese entities, as well as the use of coded messages and secret travel routes through Paris, Prague, and the Dutch/British Caribbean territories.
