First meeting to organize rounds in Quero
First meeting of Quero authorities with the Army to request support in the organization of peasant patrols against the PCP-SL, after the Shining Path attacks of November 1989.
Felix Damian Huaynalaya, president of the peasant community of Quero, in light of the events of November 9 and 10, 1989, urged his leaders to organize the defense against the PCP-SL. On December 22, 1989, a visit was made to the Army Headquarters to request support to organize the population into peasant patrols, that is, Self-Defense Committees. The army agrees to provide them with weapons. This initiative is quickly followed by the community members of the annexes of Quero, Santa Rosa de Huarmitá, San Roque de Huarmitá, Chaquicocha and Usibamba.
