Installation of counter-subversive base in Cutivireni
In 1991, a counter-subversive base of the Peruvian Army was installed in Cutivireni, Rio Tambo district, as part of the military strategy to combat the Shining Path PCP in the central jungle. This base supported the organization of Self-Defense Committees among the native Ashaninka communities of the Ene and Tambo rivers.
In 1991, the Peruvian Army installed a counter-subversive base in Cutivireni, located in the district of Rio Tambo. This installation was part of a broader military strategy in which the Army established bases in strategic areas of the central jungle to combat the Shining Path PCP. The base was established in a context where, since 1991, the Army urged the population to organize counter-subversive patrols and intensified its patrols and incursions into areas considered red zones. The native patrols of the Ene and Tambo rivers, which had been confronting the PCP-SL on their own initiative, received support from the Army starting that year. The installation of this base in Cutivireni was part of a coordinated effort that included the establishment of another counter-subversive base at Km. 4 of the marginal highway in Satipo at the end of 1989.
