End of PCP-SL control in the Alto Huallaga area
In 1992, the PCP-SL lost control of the villages on the right bank of the Huallaga River due to counter-subversive actions by the armed forces, withdrawing to the left bank. This marked the end of their dominance in the area, which they had maintained since 1986.
In 1992, due to various counter-subversive actions by the armed forces, the PCP-SL began to retreat to the left bank of the Huallaga River, losing control of the villages on the right bank. From 1986 to 1992, the PCP-SL had control of the area, subordinating the coca growers and drug traffickers to their interests and overcoming all counter-subversive operations. Despite losing territorial control, the PCP-SL did not stop making incursions into all the villages, reminding us of the hidden but active power of the party. In 1994, the armed forces took definitive control of the area.
