• Onegreatjoke and evrik: Question from a quick parse of the source: this doesn't seem to back up the idea that shanty towns consist only or mainly of squatters? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 01:32, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
• Onegreatjoke Can you answer this first? --evrik ^(talk) 22:20, 2 June 2023 (UTC)

  I'm not too sure about shanty towns. The wikipedia article does say that "A typical shanty town is squatted" and statements saying this are cited in the wiki article. I'll see if @Mujinga: knows anything but if the hook isn't viable then we could do

  • Alt2 "... that the Shining Path used squatting as a tactic to gain support during the internal conflict in Peru?"
