Formation of the National Executive Committee of Peasant Rounds and Self-Defense Committees in Peru
In October 2001, the National Executive Committee of Peasant Rounds and Self-Defense Committees was formed in Satipo, Peru, to address the demands of these groups to the government. The formation was driven by a sense of abandonment and discrimination felt by the ronderos, who believed the state owed them recognition for their sacrifices. Despite internal conflicts and a lack of state support, these groups sought to organize and gain acknowledgment for their contributions during the conflict.
En octubre de 2001, en Satipo, se formó el Comité Ejecutivo Nacional de Rondas Campesinas y Comités de Autodefensa con el objetivo de canalizar las demandas de los ronderos hacia el gobierno. Simultáneamente, los ex líderes del VRAE constituyeron su propia asociación. Los ronderos exigían que el Estado reconociera sus sacrificios en la defensa del país durante el conflicto armado.
