Return of the first settlers to Mollebamba

Between 1991 and 1992, the first settlers returned to Mollebamba after years of forced displacement caused by the internal armed conflict. This return was part of a broader repopulation process that began in 1987 with the change in government policy and the actions of Major Miguel Seminario Ayacuchano, who implemented a strategy to recover the population instead of continuing with indiscriminate repression. The return to Mollebamba was part of a broader program implemented in 1992 that included other localities such as Yerbabuena, Putucunay, Belén de Chapi, Oronqoy, Santa Carmen, Chillihua and Tastabamba.
