In July 1990, the leaders of the Central Committee of the Rondas Campesinas del Alto y Bajo Tulumayo elaborated their first Statute. This occurred a few months after delegates from the 48 communities of Tulumayo met in a general assembly in March 1990 to agree on the formation of the Central Committee. The peasant patrols were initially organized in January 1990 in response to the abuses and territorial control of the PCP-Sendero Luminoso in the region. Since the beginning of 1990, the rondas operated in close coordination with the Army, although initially without firearms, until 1991 when they received shotguns and military training.
