A report alleges that Argentina, under Carlos Menem, armed Ecuador with 36 cannons during the Cenepa War, just thirteen years after Peru provided military and diplomatic support to Argentina during the Falklands War. This action occurred despite Argentina’s role as a guarantor of peace in the region. The alleged arms shipment represents a historical wound, though relations between the Peruvian and Argentinian people have remained strong. The report details a perceived betrayal by the Menem government following Peru’s earlier assistance. It highlights the irony of Argentina supplying weapons to a nation involved in conflict after having received support during its own war. The incident resurfaces questions about political dealings and regional security during that period. The initial report was published by Lima Gris.
