Withdrawal of the Army from Tulumayo
In 1994, the Army withdrew from Tulumayo, leaving control of the region to the peasant patrols that had managed to definitively destroy the Shining Path groups in the basin.
In 1994, Army troops withdrew from the Tulumayo after having established a counter-subversive base in Comas since July 1992. Control of the region continued under the control of the Tulumayo peasant patrols, which had achieved, together with the army's operations, the definitive destruction of the Shining Path groups throughout the basin. The peasant patrols had been organized since 1990 and received shotguns in 1991, as well as military instruction by the military. The military withdrawal left the rondas campesinas as the only control force in the area.
