In November 1989, a military patrol visited the community of Pusacpampa in the context of opposition to the Shining Path order in the region. The military gathered the population and urged them to organize themselves into peasant patrols. This visit was part of an Army strategy to encourage opposition to the PCP-Sendero Luminoso, similar to what was happening in the highlands of Canipaco and Cunas. This event occurred shortly after the Runatullo massacre in October 1989, where Shining Path members murdered four villagers accused of opposing the party.
